President's Message April 2026
Dear ASCE Houston Branch Members,
March was an exciting and engaging month for our Branch, highlighted by a well-attended meeting that showcased both innovation and opportunity in our region. We were honored to welcome keynote speaker Leilany Theilen from the Harris County Toll Road Authority, who provided a valuable preview of upcoming projects and opportunities. Her insights emphasized the continued growth and impact of infrastructure development across Harris County.
We also heard from the City of Sugar Land, who delivered a forward-thinking technical presentation on the use of artificial intelligence in municipal planning. It was inspiring to see how emerging technologies are being applied to improve decision-making and better serve our communities.
While we were disappointed to postpone our annual volleyball fundraiser due to severe weather and a tornado watch, safety always comes first. I’m pleased to share that the tournament has been rescheduled for April 8th, and we are excited to bring everyone together for this fun and meaningful event. Registration has officially re-opened—but only through midnight tonight, April 6—so we strongly encourage companies and teams to sign up now. This event plays a vital role in supporting our scholarship fund, and your participation makes a real difference.
On that note, scholarship season is one of the most rewarding times of the year for our Branch. We are proud to support the next generation of engineers and will be awarding several scholarships to both high school and university students at our upcoming April Branch Meeting.
Looking ahead, we are especially excited to welcome Lesley Briones as our April keynote speaker. With strong interest already building, we anticipate a full room and encourage you to register early to secure your spot.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support of ASCE Houston Branch. I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events.
Sincerely,
Anna Chamberlain, PE, CFM, ENV SP
President
