Spring President's Message

It is my honor to serve as Minnesota ASCE Section President for 2022-2023. I've been part of this amazing organization since college, and have got to meet people along the way with so much drive and passion for our built environment. PEOPLE are the center of our civil engineering oath to protect public health, safety and welfare.

While it is only March, the leadership board pauses activities at the end of May, resuming with a summer planning meeting, and then again full strength in September with the next round of elections. So, time is flying by! I encourage you to join me at one of the following events/activities this spring:

• March 16 Meeting: March Section Meeting with SAME — American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (ascemn.org)

• April 12 Awards Banquet: April Awards Banquet — American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (ascemn.org)

• May TBD Meeting

• Ongoing legislative meetings including participating in ACEC's event: ACEC/MN Engineering Day at the Capitol 2023 - Mar 8, 2023 - American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota (acecmn.org)

• Ongoing structural engineering seminars and planning meetings

• Other committee meetings, Younger Member Group activities, and Student Chapter activities.
