LEO A DALY is pleased to announce that Corporate Director of Federal Programs Mike Huffstetler, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP has been elevated to Fellow in the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME).

Throughout the years he has held numerous leadership roles in the Society, including mentor, elected and appointed positions on the local and national level. His work has been instrumental in furthering the Society’s goals of enhancing industry-government engagement, developing leaders for the nation, producing STEM professionals, preparing Veterans for the A/E/C industry and strengthening the resilience of communities. He is currently chair of the SAME National Membership Community of Interest and sits on the National Board as well as the Executive Committee (XC) of the Society.
In his professional role as vice president and director of federal programs, Huffstetler leads LEO A DALY’s planning, architecture, engineering and interior design practice for the U.S. government. As the Society’s longest-serving sustaining member firm (since 1958), LEO A DALY enjoys a proud history of federal service. In 2019, LEO A DALY received the Seymour S. Greenfield Sustaining Member Award. Chairman Leo A. Daly III is a life member of the Society.
