Elected Region 2 Governor
Vision statement
Through my various leadership positions over the years, I’ve always had three goals in mind: identify opportunities in which the organization can grow, give members more ways to get involved, and establish partnerships with peer interest groups and societies. Since moving to the Lehigh Valley region professionally in early 2014, I have had the opportunity to get more involved with ASCE locally with the Lehigh Valley Section and on a state level with the Pennsylvania State Council.
As Governor I would like to continue to engage in Government Relations/Affairs and try to get more members, in particular current students and younger members, involved in advocacy. I also believe there is an opportunity to explore if there is an interest for members who reside in an area that is outside a particular section’s home base to become more involved in ASCE by establishing a Branch in their area. In addition, I would like to see if we can re-activate branches in the Region that are inactive since we were able to successfully re-establish the Reading Branch.
