5.     Most Regions contain several states, and many states, or portions thereof, have formed their own Section within the Region.   For instance, the Texas Section is located within Region 6 of ASCE, which also includes the New Mexico and Oklahoma Sections.  Each Section has its own constitution, bylaws and officers.

6.     Many Sections have been further subdivided into Branches to better serve members within specific metropolitan areas or population centers.  For instance, in the Texas Section, there are 16 Branches, located regionally by the cities and counties that make each Branch.  The Dallas Branch is made up of 8 counties, and our members reside within the jurisdictional boundaries of these 8 counties surrounding the City of Dallas. 

7.     Student Chapters have also been formed within each Section – these are primarily located at universities that have engineering programs related to civil engineering, and they form a bond between each respective university and ASCE.  The Texas Section has 13 Student Chapters.

8.     The Texas Section currently sponsors two meetings per year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall – the meeting location rotates each year among various cities in order to effectively represent all regions of the State.  The Spring Meeting was held this year Bryan/College Station from April 27 – 30, and was well-attended by ASCE Members from around the state and region.
