Envision Review Board Welcomes Two New Members

ISI’s Envision Review Board (ERB) plays a critical role in upholding the integrity and evolution of the Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Framework. Composed of infrastructure professionals from diverse sectors — including public agencies, private companies, and advocacy groups — the ERB ensures that Envision remains a robust, relevant, and forward-thinking tool. The board’s responsibilities include supporting the ongoing development and interpretation of Envision, upholding the highest standards for review processes, and ensuring that the framework’s tools, resources, and best practices continue to reflect the latest advancements in scholarship and industry practice.

As 2024 has come to a close, and we embark on what is to come in 2025, we want to recognize a few outgoing and incoming ERB members.

Amanda Schweickert

First, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Amanda Schweickert for her outstanding contributions to the Envision Review Board over the past six years. As a Project Director with the Sustainability, Energy & Climate Change group at WSP and an early advocate for Envision, Amanda has been a key figure in promoting sustainable infrastructure practices across a range of projects. She became one of the first Envision Sustainability Professionals credentialed in the state of Washington and was part of the first class of ISI-trained Trainers and Verifiers. Her expertise, dedication, and leadership, both within her professional work and through her involvement with various organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Public Works Association, and Engineers Without Borders, have been invaluable to the development and growth of Envision. We deeply appreciate Amanda’s years of service to the ERB and her ongoing commitment to advancing sustainability in infrastructure.

Next, we are excited to welcome two new outstanding professionals, Cristina Contreras Casado and Holly Lopez, to the Envision Review Board!

Cristina Contreras Casado

Cristina Contreras Casado, ENV SP and Envision Trainer and Verifier, brings nearly two decades of experience in sustainable infrastructure, blending academic expertise with real-world application. As the Founder and CEO of Sinfranova LLC, a sustainable infrastructure consulting firm, and an instructor at Harvard University, Cristina has made significant contributions to the global adoption of sustainability standards in infrastructure. Her work spans collaboration with Multilateral Development Banks like the World Bank, global nonprofits like WWF, and international organizations, including the United Nations. Notably, Cristina has been a champion of Envision in Spanish-speaking countries, training nearly 400 participants across Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Colombia, Chile, and Spain. Her leadership in sustainability initiatives, including her involvement with the American Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the United Nations Environment Programme’s Expert Working Group on Integrated Approaches to Sustainable Infrastructure, will bring invaluable expertise and global perspective to the Envision Review Board.

Holly Lopez

Holly Lopez, MPP, ENV SP is the Policy & Public Affairs Director at Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU), where she manages the agency’s sustainability efforts and is leading the first two projects in the state of Utah to pursue Envision verification – a new Water Reclamation Facility which replaces Salt Lake City’s only sewer treatment plant and upgrades to the existing City Creek Water Treatment Plant. Holly brings a unique perspective to the Board, focused on integrating sustainability into public infrastructure planning and policy.

We are thrilled to have both Cristina and Holly join the Envision Review Board, and we look forward to their fresh insights and valuable contributions toward advancing more sustainable infrastructure.
