What is an International Section?

Local meetings of ASCE International Sections provide the opportunity to meet other civil engineers, ASCE members who share many of the same concerns you have. You can attend technical sessions and brainstorm to solve common problems such as local legislative issues and management challenges. Networking at meetings expands your circle of professional contacts and gives you access to valuable information about local employment conditions. In addition, participation in Section activities gives you an opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

After operating successfully for one year a country may upgrade from an International Group to an International Section. Once established as a Section, the group receives comparable service to ASCE's domestic Sections by the Geographic Services Department.
