Vision statement

As a governor I would like to increase service to Region 10 members in terms of profession support, knowledge sharing and more ways of communication. I will strengthen connection between Academia and Industry by installing more student chapters. With significant challenges and opportunities offered by AI and digital technology, I want to continue to focus on increasing communication/collaboration between civil engineering and other disciplines for Region 10 members. Many ASCE Region 10 members use building codes other than ASCE Codes. Having studied and practiced internationally, being knowledgeable about codes in various regions, I am in a unique position to address the cultural difference and help Region 10 members to be able to work internationally, by increasing understanding of the differences in design and construction practice across the region. ASCE membership for Region 10 members if often the 2nd or 3rd professional membership, as international members often need to have their own national society membership in order to practice professionally. In my term I will try to achieve some reduction of the fee for international members and to increase the level of membership services.
