December Main Speaker: Ruth D. Antebi-Guten, PE, CHC, AADP

The December ASCE Meeting will be held on Monday, December 12, 2011.  The guest speaker will be Ruth D. Antebi-Guten, P.E.   

Ruthie has over twenty-five years of experience in Public Works and Engineering. She retired from her career as Public Works Director for the City of Cedar Hill in 2010 to pursue her passion for healthy living and to promote a sustainable vision for North Texas that supports healthy community initiatives within the Region.  She is an advocate for Public Works and for those men and women who, on a daily basis, take care of the citizen’s basic needs.  To maintain a presence on the web after her retirement, she developed a website called “Find City Experts”.  The website is available to provide an online presence to those with extensive municipal experience who are either retired or working as independent consultants.

As a Holistic Health Coach, her focus is on providing general nutrition and wellness support to her clients with a focus on strengthening the fabric of our healthy communities.  In that role, she established The DFW Health Coaches, a company that brings together health coaches to collaborate on efforts of regional significance in order to promote and create health and wellness.  Since her retirement, Ruthie has also taken up writing.  She regularly contributes to The Richardson Times, a local neighborhood newspaper, is active in social media, maintains a blog and publishes a monthly newsletter called A Healthy You.
