SAME Mid-Maryland Post Honors Princeton Hydro Ecologist with President’s Commendation Award

The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Mid-Maryland Post presented Princeton Hydro Project Manager & Ecologist Duncan Simpson, PWS with the President’s Commendation Award for his efforts in advancing the objectives of the organization, his commitment to SAME’s Leadership and Mentoring Program, and his outstanding contributions as a young professional.

The mission of SAME is to build leaders and drive collaboration among government and industry to develop multidisciplinary solutions to national security infrastructure challenges. Princeton Hydro joined SAME as a Sustaining Member in 2018, and actively supports the organization and its goals.

Duncan has been an active participant of the SAME Mid-Maryland Leadership and Mentoring program, which provides a unique opportunity for Young Members, Junior Officers, and NCOs to meet with and study under some of the country’s top military officers and A/E executives. Each year, only a select group of 10 applicants are chosen for this prestigious program.

Participants earn professional credits through monthly educational sessions focused on developing leadership skills. In 2022, Duncan was awarded a certificate of completion for a total of 13.5 professional development hours in a variety of subject matters, including Adapting Your Leadership Style to the Hybrid Workforce; Marketing and BD Strategies; Small Business Perspective on Leadership; and Leadership Lessons from a Cybersecurity Perspective.

“I am honored to be chosen for the President’s Commendation Award from the SAME Mid-Maryland Post and to have been selected to participate in the Leadership and Mentoring program,” said Duncan. “It has been rewarding and edifying to receive guidance from SAME Fellows, senior leaders and industry executives on self-analysis and professional development, and team dynamics and team leadership skills.”
