President's Message - October 2015

Happy Fall, ASCE Dallas! We’ve had a phenomenal year and so many people were involved to help make that happen. I would like to express my gratitude to this year’s 39 officers and committee chairs. Our membership, volunteers, guests, and supporting firms have contributed to this successful year in the following ways:

• Celebrated 90 years of ASCE in Dallas with a casino night and fundraiser

• Raised Scholarship funds At the Annual DFW Golf Tournament

• Joined Fort Worth for technical sessions and to hear fellow civil engineer Mayor Jeff Williams speak

• Mentored students At Civil Engineering Club, Girl Scouts

• Reached out to students through Future City, MathCOUNTS competitions, Career Fairs & Days

• Volunteered At North Texas Food Bank, Perot Museum, Earth Day

• Honored Dallas members: Mark Boyd, Marc Sandhu, Jack Furlong, Rachel Hayden, Angela Matthews, Sean Merrell, Jonathan Brower, Alexis Clark for being recognized for their accomplishments at ASCE Branch, State, National levels
