| From the Desk of the President
Welcome to the Sacramento Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers! 
I am proud to represent and serve you as your President for 2009-2010.
I am looking forward to all the next year holds in store for us. The Sacramento Section is a diverse and active group of civil engineers, scientists, and practitioners from a wide variety of private and public backgrounds. We have the unique advantage and responsibility of representing civil engineering in our state capital, and our membership is actively involved in our community, local education, governmental policy, and of course, the promotion of the profession.
We are continuing to build and transition for tomorrow. I have asked our Board of Directors to focus on four simple goals this year: Building and Enhancing Careers; Recognition; Outreach to Young Members, and Vision. I invite you to read our strategic goals and to track our progress in these four areas by reading the Engineerogram and this website.
I urge you to contact me with any comments or questions. You can reach me easily at lsmith@calweb.com, or send an email to our section office at asce@asce-sacto.com. Please join our ever expanding group and tour the website to see where you can get involved. There are a number of ways to get involved, from our local Branches, the discipline specific Institutes and technical committees, and student chapters. Our mission to provide essential value to our members, our partners and the general public by developing leadership, advancing technology, advocating lifelong learning and promoting the profession.

Sacramento Section Announces the Formation of the Sustainability Committee
by Fareed Pittalwala, P.E.
The Sacramento Section is pleased to announce that we have a new committee that is active and pursuing an aggressive agenda this year. Led by Robert Roscoe, General Manager of the Sacramento Suburban Water District, the committee is initially focusing on achieving some early successes, and is using as a reference the report prepared by the ASCE/TAC Committee on Sustainability titled “Sustainability Guidelines for ASCE Sections, Branches and Student Chapters” to guide initial activities. Current activities include: working with the Section Awards Committee to establish criteria for an annual Sustainable Project of the Year, and a Sustainability Person of the Year; outreach to the branches and student chapters in the Sacramento Section; and scheduling presentations on sustainable projects at section, branch and student chapter meetings.
