[ASCE YM] FW: ASCE YMs on Board-Level Committees

Fri Dec 5 08:07:21 CST 2008

Good Morning

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I would like to thank
everyone that attended and helped with this year's Happy Hour after
OTEC.  There were approximately 100 people in attendance from all four
organizations and the event was a success.

 A reminder that the Central Section will be having a Dinner Meeting
December 18, 2008 at the Columbus Zoo (information at the bottom of this
email).

Additionally we have received a request for nominations for Younger
Members to serve on ASCE Board-Level Committees; this is a great
opportunity to get involve and add a Younger Members prospective to
these committees.  Anyone that maybe interested should read the email
below and contact me as soon as possible.  We need to respond by
December 19, 2008.

Happy Holidays

Memorandum 

To:        Younger Member Presidents/Chairs/Contacts

Cc:        CYM, CYM Corresponding Members

From:    Marie Maly, P.E., M.ASCE, Chair, Committee on Younger Members

Subject:               Opportunities to Serve on ASCE's Board-Level
Committees - Share with your Younger Members

Each year, the President-Elect of ASCE selects interested members of the
Society to fill positions on Board-level committees.  These committees
cover a variety of topics and involve different levels of time
commitment.  The committees may have specific eligibility requirements;
however, they could all benefit from a Younger Member's perspective.  In
addition, your participation will provide valuable leadership experience
and networking opportunities.  

In accordance with the Committee on Younger Members' (CYM) charge and
visioning plan to increase Younger Member involvement and participation
in all levels of the Society, we invite you to seek placement on a
Board-level committee.  There are over 20 Board-level committees,
including:  

Committee on Annual and Specialty Conferences (CASC) - provide oversight
for ASCE conferences and build alliances with Institutes and other
entities

Committee on Critical Infrastructure (CCI) - provide guidance and
direction on activities related to homeland security and multi-hazard
protection of infrastructure

Educational Activities Committee (EdAC) - enhance Civil Engineering
education

History & Heritage Committee (HHC) - celebrate the history and heritage
of the Civil Engineering profession

International Activities Committee (IAC) - help serve international
members by exchanging information and cooperating with other countries 

Membership Committee (MC) - share your great ideas on member attraction
and retention

A complete list of Board-level committees can be found in the Official
Register.  (http://www.asce.org/or/)  Many of the committees select
Corresponding Members in addition to full members, so there are a wide
variety of opportunities and responsibility levels (Corresponding
Members are not usually eligible for reimbursement, so generally, they
do not attend face-to-face meetings).  

Blaine Leonard, President-Elect, will be working to fill committee
positions after the first of the year for terms beginning in October
2009.  Also, the President and President-Elect of ASCE sometimes appoint
Task Committees.  These are short-term commitments with a specific
focus.  We do not know what kinds of Task Committees will be created
yet, but if you are interested in participating that way, we would be
happy to pass your name on.  

If you are interested in taking this opportunity to meet people and have
a positive effect on our profession and our Society, please let me know
which committee(s) you are interested in by December 19.  If multiple
committees spark your interest, please assign them an order of
preference.  We would also appreciate it if you could let us know
whether you are in the public or private sector and your area of
practice.  CYM would be happy to assist you in the
nomination/application process. 

Please share this information with your Younger Members - we challenge
each Younger Member Group to find at least one member who would be
willing to serve on an ASCE committee.  It is truly a great experience.
Thank you for your dedication to ASCE!

Ms. Huebel has been in the zoo exhibit construction business for over 20
years. After volunteering as an exhibit artist at the Burnet Park Zoo in
Syracuse, New York, she began working full time at the New York
Zoological Society's Bronx Zoo as an Exhibit Artist.  In this capacity
she worked as part of the design/fabrication team creating exhibits
throughout the zoo including fabricating trees, mud banks, pools,
painting murals, and many of the other basic elements of exhibit
construction. She then joined the Toledo Zoological Gardens design team,
where I gained extensive knowledge of graphics and interpretive design/
fabrication.

In 1996 Ms. Huebel joined the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium's Planning and
Design Department and began overseeing the zoo exhibit construction
during the past 12 year expansion.  Currently she provides project
management and on site art direction of the exhibit construction, in
addition to coordinating and managing the graphics and interpretive
design/fabrication for the capital projects at the zoo. 

In addition, Ms. Huebel manages the exhibit design and exhibit
technology of the zoo, coordinating the upgrades and maintenance of
animal exhibits, graphics and interactive technology on zoo grounds.
