President's Message

Central Ohio  Section Members:

If you contacted your state senator or representative about the importance of infrastructure funding, THANK YOU! The Ohio Legislature finally agreed to an increase in the motor fuel tax, and it will go into effect this summer. (I am also happy to hear my next car will not have to have a front license plate.) More good news, the media is reaching out to the Central Ohio ASCE section for information about infrastructure, and it promises to be a continuing conversation.

Our March luncheon with the ASCE President-Elect K.N. Gunalan (Guna) went very well. He was interested in our thoughts on the organization of the society and what we as a section wanted to see from our national organization. I also attended Geo-Congress 2019 where I had a chance to speak with the ASCE director of member services, Curtis Nunley. They have made some significant changes to the information management systems at ASCE, and it should really help members and sections alike.

Finally, every year we look to grant two awards - the Outstanding Civil Engineer of Central Ohio and the Outstanding Section Member of ASCE Central Ohio. I would love to hear who you think is deserving of one of these awards. Please send me your nominations.

Peter Narsavage, P.E.
