Celebration of Student and Life Members and State Legislature Update
This special dinner program features ASCE Student and Life Members and an update on legislative activities in Washington.
The program will begin with presentations on current activities in the Washington State Legislature from Dr. Conrad Felice and Clifford A. Webster.
We will continue with presentations from the student paper award winners from Seattle University and the University of Washington. Awards will be given following the student presentations. This is a great opportunity to see the new challenges our current students are taking on and to show support for the students as they embark on their careers.
The evening will wind down with honoring 2017 ASCE Life Members. A Life Member is an individual who has made a lifetime commitment to ASCE and the civil engineering profession by remaining a member for the full length of their professional career. Life members have been dues paying members for at least 35 years and have had a minimum of 10 years of continuous membership.
Please come support your fellow ASCE members in their achievements!
