More than ever, civil engineers are playing a vital role in our country and throughout the world. With increased emphasis placed upon rehabilitation and upgrade of our nation’s infrastructure, it is imperative engineers take an active role in our community and development of public policy. I believe this should be one of the main objectives of ASCE, and I will ensure ASCE focuses on the advancement of our profession.
My involvement with ASCE over the past several years has been a fantastic experience on a personal and professional level. Participation at the local, regional, and national level has afforded me the opportunity to meet and interact with members of ASCE from Region 1 and across the country. I would like to continue my service to ASCE on a larger basis. It would be an honor to sit on the National Board of Direction as the Region 1 Director. I believe there is a great wealth of talent at the Section and Branch level of ASCE. I will work to better the lines of communication between National and these Sections/Branches to increase involvement of the general membership at a Regional and National level. I pledge to work hard and bring a high level of enthusiasm to the Board of Direction.
