Region 1 Governor Official Nominee

 

Vision statement

My vision for serving as Region 1 Governor is to provide connectivity through communication, support, identifying resources, bringing enthusiasm and mentoring to the local ASCE professional and student chapter members, to provide thoughtful feedback and ideas to ASCE in support of ASCE’s initiatives, and to promote the profession of civil engineering, including how we can use our skills and training to address critical issues such as climate resiliency and promoting STEM to the next generation of engineers.

Serving as a Board member of BSCES for over eight years, including serving as President, has allowed me to understand the complexities of, as well as being a leader to, one of the most active local sections of ASCE and has allowed me to understand how to support and encourage volunteers to actively participate and become leaders, how to balance budgets and fundraise, and how to support and encourage young professionals, college students, and grade school students.

Serving the first 2 years as ASCE Region 1 Governor has re-affirmed my desire to serve in this role and I would like to continue serving a second term.
