Reid Garcia '13

President

"Being deeply involved with EWB for 3 years, I have come to know the ins and outs of the organization very well. After being an officer and then an exec officer, I have gained so much knowledge about how EWB-TAMU and EWB-USA work. By growing the chapter and unifying the international and local project teams, I hope that people in the organization will have fun doing the great work that we do and make some lifelong friends along the way."

 Jorge Bustamante '10 (Grad Student)

VP of Projects

"I have dedicated the last 3 years of my life to EWB. I joined in spring 2009 which makes me the dinosaur of the organization. I have been involved in the Costa Rica project from the beginning and am proud to have led the team in the last implementation. I understand the dynamics of the oragnization and want to help the next generation of project leads transition into their roles and succeed with their projects."
