February 2024 President's Message
Hello ASCE Houston Members!
Everything has started up again for the ASCE Houston organization and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. Your President-Elect (Johnny Kim), Branch Director (Alberto Dorantes), and I were privileged to represent the ASCE Houston Branch at the Multi-Region Leadership Conference in Kansas City, Missouri. We were able to share our experiences with and gain knowledge from other ASCE leaders on legal issues, ASCE resources, best practices, communications, and leadership lessons.
At the end of January, the Student Chapter Co-Chairs, Practitioner Advisors, and our VP Education put on a successful Career Prep Event last week that included resume reviews, interview tips, and a panel discussion with a Q&A for the students. I would like to congratulate the College Education team on a great and well-attended event!
The entire Engineering community is gearing up for Engineers Week and there are lots of exciting events going on: the Run of Pi, Young Engineer of the Year Casino Night, the Student Scholarship Luncheon, and last but not least, The Engineer of the Year Gala honoring Melvin Spinks (an ASCE member)! I’d be remiss if I didn’t congratulate our Young Engineer of the Year for the Houston Branch. We had some great candidates this year, but Johnny Kim won out. Congratulations to both of these outstanding Engineers!
While I am on a congratulatory roll, I would like to congratulate our Branch and all of its volunteers over the past year, especially the current Past President, Uttam Karmaker, on receiving the 2023 Outstanding Section and Branch Commendation Certificate. Great job everyone! I would also like to say a special thanks to the VP Communications (Connor McBride) and Website Chair (Dadi Hamel) from last year for winning the 2023 Outstanding Section and Branch Website Award for Large Branches. I know there was and still is a lot of work that goes into the website that no one sees.
As always, please let me know if and how you feel the Houston Branch could serve you better.
Thanks,
Alexa Nichols, P.E., CFM, ENV SP
President
