    Section Needs Volunteers For Oregon Infrastructure Report Card

    Over the next several months the Oregon Section of ASCE will be conducting research and preparing a report card for the State of Oregon. The process will take about 6 months and our goal is to complete the report card prior to the beginning of the 2009 legislative session. Once complete, the report card will serve as an aid for Engineers to communicate the status of the State’s infrastructure and the importance of legislative support in funding infrastructure improvements. Stay tuned for updates and look to the Section’s website for current information. The infrastructure report card committee is looking for members and industry leaders willing to provide their expertise whether in developing the report card or serving on the review committee. If you would like to be involved, please contact Darren Hippenstiel or Javier Moncada. See the summer issue of The Oregon Civil Engineer for more information.
