The North Carolina Section has released the 2013 Report Card for North Carolina’s Infrastructure. Visit the ASCE Infrastructure Report Card site to review the North Carolina-specific report card.
We've learned that many of the engineers in the Eastern Branch haven't updated their profile with ASCE National to state that the Eastern Branch is their "Primary Branch". The establishment of a person's Primary Branch is typically done during the renewal process, but often times people let it stagnate to a former state, old employer, or old residential address. When this happens, the Eastern Branch loses funding which limits the number and size of events we can have each year. How can you help? Visit your profile at ASCE National and update your mailing address (Go to "My ASCE, login, then go to "Edit Personal Information"). Optionally, you can call ASCE National at (800) 548-ASCE (2723) or contact them via email at member@asce.org. They're awesome and love to help!
The Eastern Branch is soliciting for local project photos with a brief description from any member who wishes to share their accomplishment with the Branch and public. If you have a high-quality digital photo of a project upon which you or your company worked, please send it along with a brief project description to the Web Director, Luke Montoya (ascenceasternbranch@gmail.com). As opportunities arise and when appropriate, we may use your project photo in future emails and/or on our website with attribution to you or your company. This is not a one-time competition but an ongoing effort to share each other's achievements, so feel free to submit anytime.
