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 - Fall 2025

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Happy Fall!

As the weather cools down, the Section’s activity is heating up! We were excited for our first dinner meeting in October, and not just because of the delicious food and the PDH. In fact, my favorite part of all our meetings is the opportunity to meet new people and reunite with current friends and colleagues. 

 

Personally, ASCE was the pathway to some of my best professional relationships, and it all started with a colleague bringing me to an ASCE Philadelphia Younger Member Forum event shortly after I graduated. Sure, someone’s first event can be tough as they might only know the person who brought them along, but it gets easier, and they’ll remember that you were the one who opened the door for them. 

 

If you’re reading this and you attend our local ASCE events, I implore you to encourage a colleague to tag along—it could change their career (and life!) in a very positive way. And it doesn’t matter whether they just graduated or are years into their career; all are welcome! 

 

Enjoy the fall! I look forward to seeing you at an event soon, and hope you come say hi if you see me… especially if you’ve brought a first-time colleague. Be well and stay safe!

 

Best Regards, 

Jesse Gormley
President, ASCE Philadelphia Section
