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 - April 2025

President

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

A sign in the dirt AI-generated content may be incorrect.The Section’s Nominating Committee recently completed its task and developed the proposed 2025-26 Board slate and that served as a reminder that my term as President is quickly coming to an end. While there are only a couple months left in this term, we still have a substantial amount of programming left to offer.  Don’t forget to register for our annual Multi-Technical Topic Dinner Meeting which will take place on Thursday, April 10 at the Inn at Swarthmore; we’ll be honoring our new Life Members and our past Presidents at this event, too.  We’re planning our next student outreach event which involves the Section working with the TGR Foundation and we’re working on a construction site tour to offer you before the end of the term.  Also, be on the lookout for when the registration opens for the Spring Social which will take place on May 15 at the Lucy.

I also wanted to take this time to remind you of the many opportunities ASCE gives us to explore our interests beyond what we offer on at the Section Level. For example, the PA Infrastructure Report Card Committee is currently recruiting members from across the Commonwealth to help with the 2026 PA Report Card.  While the application period has passed for Society-level committees, it may be worth checking out the committees on a Society level, as they provide opportunities to connect with members from all over the world!  As part of my involvement with the Society’s Committee on Student Members (CSM), I recently had the opportunity to speak with students that participated in the Gulf Coast Student Symposium at Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS.

If you haven’t had a chance to engage with ASCE locally, on a state level, or at the Society level, there are still plenty of opportunities to do so.
