Vision statement

I plan to focus my attention primarily on three areas: ASCE WV Infrastructure Report Card production and promotion, student branch engagement, section membership service and growth. I will work to impress on society and governmental leadership the importance of civil engineering through the promotion of the infrastructure report card on a local, state and national level. I will encourage civil engineering students to become active section members by enriching the undergraduate experience through involvement at student branch meetings, conferences and regional symposiums along with interaction with educators and practitioners. I will promote the value of ASCE membership and involvement within the student chapters, branches, sections within Region 4 through outreach efforts, communication and involvement. I will work with the Region 4 Board to brainstorm, collaborate and create best practices that can be shared through the Society and to bring value to our members.
