ASCE Metropolitan Section

The Long Island Branch serves ASCE members that reside and/or work in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Each year, the Long Island Branch organizes a variety of activities including several technical lectures that provide continuing education (PDH) credits necessary for maintaining professional licensure, a golf tournament, a transportation luncheon, and an awards dinner. These events supplement the program offered by the Met Section and are convenient for members that may not be able to travel to Manhattan to attend ASCE Met Section events.

To receive announcements of upcoming Long Island Branch meetings on a regular basis, you can subscribe to the Met Section listserv.

On May 6, 2010, Long Island Branch held its Annual Awards Dinner Dance at the Westbury Manor. The event allows ASCE to recognize 2009-2010 projects, fellow engineers and extend thanks to members and their companies that help to support the Long Island Branch throughout the year. It is also a great way to allow everyone a chance to network with other engineers and cut a rug if the dance bug bites.
