2022 WAS A YEAR OF GREAT PROGRESS FOR ASCE. By collaborating with various organizations and agencies but most importantly you - our engaged members - we've taken significant steps toward advancing the profession, fostering innovation, and leading the charge to protect and improve our nations infrastructure. We are being heard, often quoted, in statehouses across the country and on Capitol Hill to advocate for infrastructure. Though the COVID-19 pandemic may have changed our approach, it did not stop us. For example, in March we held our first hybrid Legislative Fly-In for over 220 members to meet with members of Congress and senior legislative staff to address the Society's collective public policy priorities. While the signing of the bipartisan infrastructure law in 2021 marked a historic moment, it was just the beginning. In 2022, ASCE's annual Infrastructure Roundtable series examined ways to effectively use funding from the legislation. We also launched the IIJA Implementation Resource Center to help members track the bill's progress at the national and local levels. Since the launch of this resource, we've had nearly 11,000 visitors to the portal. |
