Greetings Duluth Section,
I hope you all had a great summer with all your construction projects. It certainly went fast for me. It is hard to believe that it is already September.
Our next luncheon is on September 23 at 12 pm at the BARR office in Duluth, MN. Our speaker will be Victor Lund with St. Louis County. He will be presenting on “Innovative Intersection Designs to Improve Safety and Operations.” It will be a great presentation that you won’t want to miss. Please use the collaborate link (coming soon) to RSVP so we can plan for food. If you are unable to use the collaborate link, please send me a message.
The following rotational positions will be voted upon at the September luncheon. Our current Vice President Peter Demshar will advance to President. Tyler Yngsdal will be advancing to Vice President, and Alex Popp our current secretary will advance to Treasurer. That leaves our secretary position open. Please let us know if you are interested in the position.
If anyone wants to be on the ballot to fill any of these positions, please let me know. All seats will be put to a vote. Without volunteers like you, our section will not have a full leadership team. If you or anyone you know would be interested in a great networking and leadership opportunity, please reach out to anyone on the board.
Also, keep a look out for our Sponsorship letters for our Section, that should be sent to your office’s. They keep the lights on here for our section and help us provide opportunities for you and our community.
Finally, I want to thank all the current Board Member’s for their efforts this past year. We accomplished a lot and grew our YMG group and the Student Section group. I really enjoyed working with all the board members and I am excited about what they will do next year for our Duluth ASCE Section.
Hope to see you on the 23rd for our first fall luncheon and please don’t forget to RSVP.
Ryan Swanson
Duluth Section President
