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 - March 2025

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Just like most of you, I’m still on a Super Bowl LIX high!  I want to shout out the Philadelphia Eagles for bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Philadelphia.

Recently, members of the Philadelphia Section and the Younger Member Forum’s boards attended the Multi-Region Leadership Conference (MRLC) in Memphis, TN.  While we were there, we had the opportunity to connect with new folks and reconnect with familiar faces all while fine-tuning our leadership skills. This Conference also provided attendees the space to network with members within one’s own region, so we enjoyed getting to strengthen our bond with our Region 2 colleagues.  The Younger Members host an awards ceremony at the conference as well, and I’m proud to share that the Philadelphia Section’s Younger Member Forum received the Outstanding Younger Member Group Award and Section Member, Matthew Reese, PE, AICP, received the Outstanding Younger Member in JEDI Activities Award.  Congratulations to the YMF and keep doing great work for the Society and our industry!

We’ve also been maintaining our connection with the Heights program as we’ve recently visited Northeast High School and spoke to students who are in the program along with students in the school’s Engineering Club.  As we continue to connect with local students, I’m confident that the future of our industry will be in good hands if we can just dedicate time to help them navigate some of the barriers they may face between high school and entering the civil engineering workforce.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at our next dinner meeting on March 13 at Maggiano’s in Center City!

Kevin Brown Jr., PE, M.ASCE
