Elected Region 7 Governor
Vision statement
As a Region 7 Governor candidate, my focus is to improve communication between local membership and Society. This will include bringing lessons learned from the Society and Region 7 to our local Branches, Sections and Student Chapters. I want to help facilitate the local Branches and Sections in developing new leaders in our engineering community and ASCE. Volunteering for ASCE can make an engineer into a leader in their own community and provide opportunities for career growth. I will encourage these leaders to promote a professional view of Civil Engineering. I will continue working with our legislators in promoting infrastructure funding locally, statewide and nationally, and bring new young engineers in the process. I look forward to the opportunity to serve my Branch, my Section, and my Region.
