President's Message:
The new slate of officers of the ASHE Southern New Jersey Section was sworn in at the May meeting. This year brings a change to the officers with many of the terms expiring. I would first like to thank all of last year’s officers for their hard work and dedication to ASHE. This year we will embark on some new initiatives. Our Safety Committee led by Joe Fiocco is off the ground and running with plans for a special presentation to our section in the fall. As licensed engineers in New Jersey, we will see some changes on the requirements for license renewal in the coming year. The professional societies offer continuing education credits that are required for license renewal. Right now they can be applied to the requirements in other states. Let’s see if New Jersey will accept them as well. I would like to get our Section certified to offer the credits as a benefit to our members.This summer your Board will meet to set the agenda for the New Year. We will also continue the successful programs from last year. We have our golf outing scheduled for July 14th at the Buena Vista Country Club. It is a beautiful course designed by William Gordan with a newly renovated par 3 17th hole. More details can be found on the website. Proceeds from the golf outing go to support the scholarships distributed to civil engineering students.
I look forward to leading ASHE Southern New Jersey Section as your President in 2010-2011 season.
Patrice Malleus, P.E.
Section President 2010-2011
