COVID-19 Webinar for ASCE Members

Thursday, April 9, 2020 - 01:00 AM

COVID-19 Webinar

The Minnesota and Wisconsin Section leadership are hosting a 1 hour webinar to discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on our local ASCE community, how members are reacting to the crisis, and what resources are available from ASCE or other organizations during this time.

We understand that many people are struggling right now – whether it be loss of income, health issues, or just adjusting to working from home. We want to hear from you and what you are dealing with, and we want to share ideas for how we can use this community to help lift those up that need it and emerge from this crisis even stronger. Presentation to be interactive.

 During this webinar we will discuss the following:

  • ASCE society-level and local tools and resources
  • Minnesota and Wisconsin PE licensure renewals and online opportunities for continuing education/PDHs
  • Impact on legislative activities
  • Challenges faced by members (possible topics included as time permits):  
  1. Who is experiencing layoffs/furloughs?
  2. What challenges are you facing working from home?
  3. How are project owners responding to you?
  4. Is there push back to web based platforms to facilitate pre-bid, bid and awards of contracts?
  5. Have specifications included any mention of COVID-19?
  6. How are completion dates for project being handled?
  7. What else can the sections or Society do to help during this time?
  8. What are the needs of our students or younger members?
  9. Resume building, mock interviews – other things that can be done virtually?
