In addition, EA contributed to the development of new and the updating of existing guidance and decision-making documents.
Dr. Loren D. Jensen, EA’s Founder and Chair, was honored by EBJ for his lifetime of achievement and dedication to the environmental industry. Educated in aquatic ecology and fisheries biology, Dr. Jensen founded EA in 1973. Over the following decades, Dr. Jensen led EA through several periods of dramatic expansion and was instrumental in propelling the company to where it is today with more than 550 employees, annual revenues exceeding $200 million, and a nationwide network of offices. As environmental regulations, public concerns, and client needs evolved, Dr. Jensen ensured EA kept pace by expanding its services, hiring exceptional talent, developing business systems, and building its unique company culture.
“These awards for outstanding business achievements are a direct result of the hard work and dedicated commitment of EA’s employee-owners,” commented Michael Battle, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “They clearly indicate that EA is fully prepared for the future of the environmental industry as we address emerging contaminants, leverage the power of digital technology, and improve coastal resilience in the face of climate change. At the same time, we take great pride in EA’s rich history as none of this would be possible without the vision and courage of EA’s Founder and Chair, Dr. Jensen.”
