MAPPS President, Brian Raber, presents Bob Hanson with the
Presidential Award for Outstanding Service

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Michael Baker's own Bob Hanson (SVP and Chief Scientist), for receiving the MAPPS Presidential Award for Outstanding Service.

Bob was the visionary, catalyst, and leader that launched Michael Baker's Mobile LiDAR services 9 years ago.  He has been a regular guest speaker at MAPPS events over the years and served on the association’s Board of Directors for the past six years. He also has served as the past-treasurer and recently helped facilitate the association’s strategic shift, which resulted in increased revenues and membership.
