Welcome to the ASCE Orange County Branch!
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I am honored and excited to extend my warmest greetings to every member of our vibrant ASCE Orange County community. I want to take this opportunity to thank Jen Marks for her leadership this past year. I am filled with excitement and optimism for the opportunities that lie ahead.
Our branch has always been a beacon of excellence in civil engineering, and I am confident that the coming year will be no exception. As we navigate the evolving landscape of our profession, let us embrace the spirit of innovation. The field of civil engineering is constantly evolving, and our ability to adapt and innovate is key to our success.
Collaboration has been the cornerstone of our achievements, and I encourage each member to actively engage in the various activities and initiatives planned for the upcoming year. The strength of our branch lies in the diverse expertise and experiences of our members. Together, we can continue to make a lasting impact on the community we serve.
In the coming months, we will focus on enhancing professional development opportunities, fostering mentorship programs, and promoting sustainable practices within our industry. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our technical skills; it encompasses a dedication to ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, and community engagement.
I am honored to serve on this Board alongside our Past-President Jen Marks of Psomas, President-Elect Nestor Godinez of SLR Consulting, Treasurer Eric Pheifer of Biggs Cardosa Associates, and Secretary Jenny Robinet of PACE Water.
