President's Message

This month we have our year-end VTASCE Annual meeting on May 28, 2008. The meeting topic will be the LEED Certification and Design of the new Dudley H. Davis Center at the University of Vermont. There will be a site tour at the Davis Center followed by a dinner meeting in the Stone Room at the Ice House in Downtown Burlington. The meeting will have three presenters, each representing a different segment of the design. The architectural firm, Truex Cullins, will be represented by Stephen Kredell, AIA, LEED AP, the Structural Engineering firm, Engineering Ventures, will be represented by Russell Miller-Johnson, P.E., and a representative from the Owner, the University of Vermont will be represented by Rayburn V. Lavigne. The dinner presentation will discuss the process of achieving LEEDS certification for the Davis Center.

I hope that you can make it out to our last event of the year. We will be swearing in our next Officers and the next Board of Directors for VTASCE. A ballot for the next VTASCE Board of Governance for the 2008-2009 term is included at the end of this newsletter. Please cast your vote on our VTASCE ballot and send it back to our Secretary by March 26, 2008.

In conjunction with our year-end meeting, SEAVT is hosting a ½ seminar at VTC in Randolph, VT from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The seminar title is “Sustainable Design & Green Building and the Role of the Structural Engineer. It will be in the Old Dorm Lounge and a continental breakfast will be available before the seminar. This half-day seminar will cover the basic principals of sustainable design and green building with an emphasis on building structural systems and the role of the structural engineer. This seminar along with our Annual meeting topic will provide you a full day information for you about Green Building and LEED certification.

This is my last President’s message for the 2007-2008 term. It has been my pleasure serving you as President of VTASCE. I hope that the momentum that the 2007-2008 Board of Directors have started continues into the future for the VTASCE Section. I also hope that the membership of the VTASCE continues to grow. It has been very exciting to see more members attend monthly meetings and my hope is to see this continue into the next term.

Respectfully,

Shawn P. Kelley, Ph.D., M. ASCE

2007-2008 President, VTASCE
