Chair:
Jenn Saugen PE, Perteet jennifer.saugen@perteet.com |
About Jenn:
I lead Perteet’s central Washington design team as we tackle both large and small transportation projects in and around the Wenatchee Valley. I bring 20+ years of project management and civil engineering design to my work with local agencies and WSDOT. My work is transportation design focused, with some transportation planning and public involvement to provide holistic support to all projects. I’m a known leader in my work with APWA’s Washington Chapter, as well as co-chairing the ACEC/WSDOT Project Delivery Committee. I believe that public works projects are the lifeblood of our communities and love providing improvements in places I live, work, and recreate! |

Committee Member
Malisa Enghusen, Commonstreet Consulting |
About Malisa:
Malisa Enghusen is an experienced Project Manager specializing in Right-of-Way for transportation infrastructure. She aims to be an asset to her partners through her knowledge and experiences, and because of this, she is open to opportunities that will expose her to difficult, complex, and unique project situations. She truly embodies a growth mindset and is always excited to learn and tackle something new. This led Malisa to join the APWA membership committee after attending her first conference. She had known of this association for years and after attending, saw this as an opportunity to get involved, learn more about the Public Works community she supports daily, and give back to an industry she loves being in. When she’s not at work, Malisa spends quality time with her family, playing/watching sports, and finding fun new things to do, collect, and experience with her husband from books, art, food, to games, concerts, Broadway shows, and more! |
