ASCE Central Illinois Section Awards: Nomination Information
Every fall, the Section brings all the Branches together at our Central Illinois Annual Meeting and Banquet [Link Under Construction]. At the banquet we give the branches an update on the state of the Section and elect new officers for the next term. We also present our Annual Awards for the previous year.
These awards include the Civil Engineer of the Year, Government Civil Engineer of the Year, and Young Civil Engineer of the Year in addition to the Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement award.
