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 - December 2025

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Jesse GormleyAs we enter the holiday season, it’s a good time to take a moment and remember why we do what we do. Our code of ethics says that, above all else, civil engineers protect and advance the health, safety, and welfare of the public. For me, this serves as a reminder to put people—all people—first.

After all, the people in our lives are the most important part of our existence. They help us accomplish our goals and find happiness and fulfillment. They might be family, friends, colleagues, or even one-time acquaintances who held a door or gave a smile—no matter the case, if you appreciate them, I urge you to take a moment to tell them so. 

In that vein, I’d like to offer some thanks of my own. First, to my family (pictured here) for supporting all my ASCE efforts and harebrained schemes—but even more so for just bringing so much joy to each day! 

And second, to each and every one of you for the hard work you’re doing for the good of the public, as well as for your participation with ASCE. Remember to be good to one another and all your other people this season. We look forward to seeing you at another event soon. 
 

Best Regards, 

Jesse Gormley
President, ASCE Philadelphia Section
