The Central Region is pleased to announce the selection of Linda Weiss
as the new District Chief of New Mexico. Linda, who has been serving
as District Chief in Nebraska since 1993, brings a wealth of talent to
her new assignment. In 1983, after graduating from the University of
Illinois with a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering, Linda worked with
the Illinois District as a Project Chief on several projects. In 1988,
she transferred to Headquarters where she worked with the Army Corp of
Engineers, Dredging Research Program. From 1989-1993, Linda held the 
position of Reports Improvement Advisor, Program Officer, and Chief of
the Publications Section of the Mid-Atlantic Programs, as well as
Section Chief of the Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia
District's Modeling and Resources Assessment Section.  As Nebraska
District Chief, Linda has increased the cooperator base and has expanded
studies making Nebraska's water-resources program multidisciplinary and
more technically challenging.

During the interim, before Linda reports for duty in Albuquerque, Rodger 
Ferreira will continue as Acting District Chief in New Mexico.  Please 
join us in congratulating Linda and wishing her success in her
new assignment.
