2011 - 2012 President's Message

The Long Island Branch has been very active this summer! Our first Board meeting was held on July 12, 2011. The major topic of discussion was planning for the 2011 – 2012 year’s activities: 

• September 01, 2011 – NYSSPE/ASCE Joint Golf Outing @ Timber Point Golf Course
• September 15, 2011 - ITE/ASCE Joint Transportation Mtg @ Milleridge Inn Cottage House, Jericho
• October 13, 2010 - Technical Meeting @ Domenico’s Restaurant, Levittown 6:30 PM Nico Sutmoller Topic – “Geofoam-A ightweight Fill Alternative”
• November 17, 2011 - Technical Meeting – (Topic to be determined) @ Domenico’s Restaurant, Levittown. 6:30 PM
• December 2, 2011 – Transportation Luncheon 12 noon @ Carlyle on the Green, Bethpage State Park. 
• Jan 19, 2012 - Technical Meeting – (Topic to be determined) @ Domenico’s Restaurant, Levittown. 6:30 PM

Please save these dates and check the ASCE web site for updates. We look forward to your participation in these events and ncourage you to contact any Board with topics you’d like to present to the LI Branch.   

We encourage you to participate in ASCE as well as Long Island Branch activities. There are many ways to do  this. You can become a committee person; chair a committee or create a committee. For example, you may have an interest in a particular specialty and might want to start a committee dedicated to sharing technical knowledge and experience. We would like to create an awards committee who would make recommendations to the Board for the annual awards presented at the May Dinner Dance. We would like to see the creation of a Scholarship committee dedicated solely to the oversight of this effort. Another way to participate is student out
reach, particularly college students who are interested in civil engineering and encourage them to attend our meetings and make contacts for future employment.  If you are interested in writing, prepare a technical paper and submit it for publication!  This is the challenge to you: get involved with ASCE; attend technical meetings; join a committee; write a technical paper for presentation; and reach out to civil engineering students!
