ASCE Board of Direction has placed the names of two of the three declared candidates for the position of ASCE President Elect for FY 2010 on the national ballot to be sent out this June. All three individuals are highly experienced and well qualified to lead ASCE. Following the ASCE Bylaws and Rules of Policy and Procedure and after conducting personal interviews, the Board had the very challenging task of selecting one or two candidates for the ballot. Because all three candidates are so well qualified, the Board concluded the members of ASCE would be best served by putting two names on the ballot. 

The two names which will appear on the ballot this summer are, alphabetically, Ms. Kathy Caldwell of Gainesville, Florida and Mr. Moustafa Gouda of Manalapan, New Jersey. The biographical statement and vision statement of the two official candidates can be found on the ASCE website by clicking on "Inside ASCE" and then clicking on "2010 election nominees." This is the first time in a number of years that ASCE will have a contested election for President Elect and it behooves all of our members to educate themselves about the two final candidates prior to the commencement of voting in mid-June.  

We highly encourage all members to inform themselves of the candidate names, and investigate their qualifications and personal data on the ASCE web site.
