President's Message

Dear members,

During the first month of the new fiscal year, we had several events and initiatives that were successful. To name a few, our Annual Joint Engineering Societies Meeting held on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 had about 160 people in attendance. This was the largest meeting of the ASCE Houston Branch in the past 3 years. I want to thank our keynote speaker Mr. Patrick Gant, Deputy Director of Transportation Planning and Development with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). I also want to thank the following participating local organizations for their collaboration at this meeting:

• American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC Houston Chapter)
• America Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE Houston Section)
• American Society of Indian Engineers and Architects (ASIE)
• Construction Management Association of America (CMAA Houston Chapter)
• Engineers Without Borders (EWB Central Houston Professional Chapter)
• Houston Hispanic Architects & Engineers (HHAE)
• Society of American Military Engineers (SAME Houston/Galveston Post)
• Society of Women Engineers (SWE Houston Area Section)
• Texas Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE Greater Houston Chapter)
• Institute of Transportation Engineers (TexITE Greater Houston Section)
• Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS Houston Chapter)

The Houston Branch was a co-host of the METRONext Question & Answer Session regarding the proposed bond to invest in and improve the Houston region transportation systems. Our keynote speaker, Ms. Carrin Patman, METRO Chairman discussed the purpose of the proposed bond and reminded us that Election Day for the bond is on November 5^th.  As your President, I encourage you to exercise your right to vote. This is a privilege that should not be taken lightly.

I hope to see you at the November Branch Meeting on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at the HESS Club from 5-7:30pm. Our keynote speaker is Mrs. Carol Ellinger Haddock, Director, City of Houston Public Works.

I am available for any questions or comments about the ASCE Houston Branch, so do not hesitate to contact me.
