President Joe Biclen signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law on Nov. 15, with ASCE President Dennis D. Truax, Ph.D., P.E., DEE, D.WRE, F.NSPE, F.ASCE, in attendance among the group of bipartisan members of Congress and business leaders from around the country. "What an honor to be asked to attend the signing of the IIJA by the White House as the representative of our Society," said Truax. "This is recognition of the role our ASCE volunteers have played in crafting the infrastructure conversation to a point that this monumental legislation has come to fruition. It isn't every day that the hard work and servant leadership of civil engineers is recognized, but today is just such a day. With the signing of the IIJA, we have turned a corner on the kind of national infrastructure investment that ASCE and our volunteers have worked diligently for decades to see. But of course, our work only begins with this event." |
