Leadership Montgomery County Connects Leaders and Business Owners Who Share The Common Goal of Creating Community

We are pleased to announce Amanda Van Dusen will be graduating from Leadership Montgomery County on May 20th, 2021! Leadership Montgomery County is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization dedicated to developing and enhancing current and future leaders of Montgomery County. Their mission is to prepare emerging and existing leaders to understand local issues, grow their leadership skills and connect with others to better serve Montgomery County. Vogt Engineering shares the same unwavering commitment to serving the community. Read more below about highlights from the program! 

Program Highlights

During the 9-month program Amanda participated in leadership workshops each month  focusing on education, economic development, government, healthcare, public safety, infrastructure, serving the community, and leadership development. In these 9-months Amanda sharpened her leadership skills and learned about all the moving parts involved in running, shaping, and maintaining communities. The nine-month course ends in a celebration honoring the participants who complete the requirements of the program. The luncheon event includes the presentation of the graduates, as well as honoring the year’s LMC Distinguished Alumnus. For more information about the program click here!

Child Advocates Project

One of the highlights of the program is the class project which benefits a local non profit. The class of 2021 chose CASA Child Advocates of Montomery County. Amanda and her classmates responded to CASA’s needs by creating a disaster response plan; creating an online information resource database for advocates; completing renovations of 5 visitation rooms at the Department of Family & Protective Services office; and organizing and hosting a virtual life skills training event for teens in the foster care system with resources to allow for repeating the event in the future! 


We are so proud of Amanda and the entire 2021 graduating class working together to become better leaders! Click here to view the 2021 graduating class and visit the Leadership Montgomery County website for more information about what they do!

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.
