John M. Gardner, P.E., vice president/senior project manager at the Raleigh, N.C.-based engineering firm Smith Gardner Inc., has been named to the Editorial Advisory Committee (EAC) for Geosynthetics magazine.
Gardner, who joined the former G.N. Richardson & Associates firm in 1996, assumed the EAC position previously held by Greg Richardson, now retired. Stacey Smith is president/senior engineer at Smith Gardner Inc.
The 25-member EAC offers peer reviews, feature articles and case histories for publication, and general counsel for Geosynthetics, the 32-year-old publication that launched in 1983 as the Geotechnical Fabrics Report (GFR).
