| 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 the 2008-2009 term. 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.
I welcome all of you to our newly re-designed website. We are continuing to make advances to our organization and I urge you to contact me with any comments or questions. You can reach me easily at fpittalwala@rbf.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.

Registration is now open for the 11th Annual ASCE Charity Golf Tourney to be held on Monday, July 13th, 2009 at Catta Verdera Country Club in Lincoln. We hope that everyone is as excited about the new venue as we are, and will once again come out to support this worthy cause. As in previous years, the net proceeds will go to support the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, granting wishes for local children between the ages of 2-1/2 and 18 with life threatening medical conditions. Three ways to support this annual event besides being a golfer include: become a hole sponsor, donate raffle prizes or money for Make-A-Wish, or become an event sponsor.

The Sacramento Section is pleased to announce that we have a new committee that is active and pursuing an aggressive agenda this year.
