Thanks to Our Section Sponsors - 29th Season!

When we first rolled out our sponsorship program at the start of the 1991-92 season, a total of nine “pioneer” firms participated:

  • BCM Engineers Inc.
  • Lippincott Engineering Associates
  • National Timber Piling Council
  • Pennoni Associates, Inc.
  • Pickering Corts & Summerson, Inc.
  • The RBA Group
  • Reutter Engineering
  • Temple University
  • J. Richard Weggel, PhD, PE
 

Some of these sound familiar, and some are no longer. We have begun our 29th year of the Section Sponsorship program this season. Thus far, 12 companies have committed to participate in this season. We extend our special and collective THANKS to each sponsor for their financial commitment and support.

As a sponsor, your business card will appear in each edition of THE NEWS from October through May. Sponsor logos are displayed in a special Sponsors section of our website. Additionally, we provide direct links to sponsors’ own websites so prospective employees can review all available and up-to-date positions. We also offer sponsors the opportunity to have a “spotlight” article in an edition of THE NEWS.

If you would like to join, renew or come back after a few years away, we look forward to bringing you into the Section Sponsor fold. All this could be yours for a mere $300 for the season.

Please contact Bob Wright at [email protected] for more details.

President's Message - March 2026

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Jesse GormleyGreetings! 

I'm sure many of you have heard the old proverb; March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb. It's a reference to this month's tendency to start with the painful dregs of winter weather and end with the first days of spring and (fingers crossed!) warmer, sunnier days in sight. ASCE's outlook is much the same.

After a few months of other celebrations and joint events, we're finally back to Maggiano's Philadelphia this month for our last regular dinner meeting of the season. We hope you can join us there for an exciting presentation and our usual delicious, family-style dinner. And as sad as we'll be to say goodbye to Maggiano's for a few months, April and May promise their own rays of sunshine in the form of our Multi-Technical Dinner Meeting and Spring Social, respectively. Both are highlight events for us every year. Lots to look forward to!

On a personal note, the arrival of March is also a call to action. With only a few months left in my term, I realize I have several open actions to progress. We're scheduling a Board community service event, working on revisions to our Constitution and Bylaws, and reexamining how we communicate with our members, while still organizing our monthly meetings and other routine tasks. I hope that, come May, I can share a meaningful look back at our accomplishments for this year... and if I can, it will be on the back of my outstanding Board and their hard work. They do what they do for the members, so please think of them and channel good energy our way (especially through these final days of winter)! 

Best Regards, 

Jesse Gormley
President, ASCE Philadelphia Section
