Centennial Vision Statement

The Centennial Celebration of the Los Angeles Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers will promote the values of the society and celebrate the history of the Section through:

• Programs to enhance student and younger member involvement by promoting the value of ASCE and civil engineering to younger engineering professionals
• Programs for local agencies, elected officials, and the general public to showcase the contributions made by civil engineers and the Society in support of infrastructure, communities, and economic development of southern California
• Personal involvement with public officials to emphasize the value of investment in infrastructure
• Engaging civil engineers and ASCE in the celebration of the Section and its history
• Programs to introduce the value of learning math and science and the profession of civil engineering to students in grades K-12

The Los Angeles Section was established in 1913 and the Year 2013 marks the centennial. In the past the Section has undertaken some energetic projects. We have sponsored two floats in the Rose Parade, one as part of the national celebration of the 150th birthday of ASCE. In addition, we have successfully hosted two ASCE Society Annual conferences.

Don Sepulveda is the chair of the ASCE Los Angeles Section committee. Don’s committee is working closely with the Section Board to develop programs, activities and events. Click here to see their Work Plan. If you would like to volunteer to help, Don can be reached at sepulvedad@metro.net.
