The Leader Training Committee is pleased to authorize you to nominate one delegate to participate in the 2025 ASCE Regions 8 and 9 Workshop for Section, Branch, and Institute Leaders (WSBIL) to be held Friday and Saturday, January 17-18 at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina San Diego, 1441 Quivira Road, San Diego, CA. Sections without Branches may nominate two delegates.
Participation in the WSBIL gives Section and Branch leaders an opportunity to exchange ideas and share experiences with one another. It exposes your incoming officers to the tools and resources needed to be an effective ASCE leader, allowing them to strengthen and expand your programs and activities. The Workshop for Student Chapter Leaders (WSCL) and the Western Regional Younger Member Council (WRYMC) annual meeting will be held concurrently, and we encourage your Student Chapter and Younger Member Group leaders to participate in those events. We have worked diligently to ensure the success of the combined program and look forward to your Section and/or Branch delegate’s participation.
To ensure that your Section and/or Branch receives the maximum possible benefit, you are encouraged to designate the President-elect, Vice President or Secretary-Treasurer as the delegate. If this is not possible, consider a Younger Member growing into a responsible position within the Section or Branch. (Please note that WSBIL attendees are only eligible for Society reimbursement once every four years.)
Registration
The registration cost, per attendee, is $300.00. This fee will help to subsidize meals and refreshment breaks scheduled during the Workshop and is not reimbursable. Please register by November 30.
