Founded in 1913, the company has grown from a one-man shop in Houma, Louisiana, to a firm of over 280 associates that provides integrated engineering, environmental and surveying services from locations across the Gulf Coast Region.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born on April 21, 1935, in New Orleans, Smith earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Louisiana State University in 1958. Beginning in 1962, Wm. Clifford Smith succeeded his father as president and sole owner of the firm. After retiring as president and owner, Smith remained chairman of the board (emeritus) for the remainder of his life. With an endless knowledge of Louisiana\u2019s history and natural resources, Smith\u2019s professional career began focusing on developing coastal Louisiana. He was ahead of his time in focusing on coastal erosion. He would speak to anyone who would listen on this topic, including Congress, where he testified in 2004. Presidents Clinton and Bush nominated Clifford as Presidential Appointee to the Mississippi River Commission, where he helped shape national flood control, navigation and environmental policy and projects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clifford\u2019s commitment to public service is reflected in memberships in multiple civic organizations, including the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce, Terrebonne Historical and Cultural Society, Louisiana Board of Regents and St. Matthew\u2019s Episcopal Church Building Committee, as well as multiple business organizations, including serving on the Board of Directors of Entergy Corporation, Chairman of American Bank &amp; Trust Co. and as a member Community Homestead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His wife is the former Jo-Anne Toups from Schriever, Louisiana, and they have seven children. The Smith family has a long legacy of giving back to the community, including Nicholls, where their support has provided internship and employment opportunities as well as service on advisory boards that support and advance academic and professional experiences of university students.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-27d4423 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"27d4423\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-09656b6\" data-id=\"09656b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-52c8acd\" data-id=\"52c8acd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-126c898 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"126c898\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8b687ef\" data-id=\"8b687ef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1db7a1 elementor--h-position-right elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"f1db7a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-bcaccca swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg elementor-ken-burns elementor-ken-burns--in\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Top view, Team engineer building inspection use tablet computer and blueprint working at construction site.
