Halff Celebrates at 2024 ACEC Gala

HCI Updates

Fort Worth office volunteers attended Career Day at Bonnie Brae Elementary, where they used Ward’s Stormwater Floodplain Simulation System to demonstrate the critical role floodplains play in the life of a watershed, and the impact of unplanned development and human activity in key areas.

Volunteers from the Richardson office led three “Tree ID: Leaf It to the Girls” workshops as part of Girlstart’s 2024 Girls in STEM Conference.

Halff’s Leadership Team and Board of Directors joined forces with HCI to volunteer at the Network of Community Ministries, where they helped organize and take inventory of food, and presented HCI’s $2,000 donation.
