Government engineers programs and resources

The Government Engineers Council (GEC) was created to raise awareness of the needs of government engineers. The GEC consists of 12 members in leadership positions of local, state, regional, and federal public agencies. They advise and assist ASCE to engage public agency civil engineers in ASCE initiatives and equip them to meet current and future challenges. Contact us for details

An ASCE peer review provides critical feedback from your peers on the effectiveness of your organization’s structure, policies, procedures, and management practices.

• Reviewers are licensed engineers with management and leadership experience in public agencies.
• They volunteer their time and are dedicated to helping their colleagues in other agencies.
• The reviews are customized to address the specific concerns of the organization or its subdivision, regardless of the size or mission.
