Hello ASCE Arizona Section Members,
How are we in December already? The year just flew by and the Holiday spirit is in full swing! I know everyone is getting ready for the holidays to enjoy some very-much-needed time off so I will make this one short... but interesting. So grab your hot cocoa (don’t forget the marshmallows) to join the festive mood and read this newsletter!
Pop quiz! Let’s test your knowledge on the Board of Technical Registration (BTR) who reviews and enforces professional licensure for engineers, architects, geologists, land surveyors, landscape architects, home inspectors, and alarm agents and determines the applicants’ qualifications. How many members are there on the BTR? There are currently a total of 11 Board Members (5 Professional Members and 6 Public Members). Do you know how many of them are engineers? Only 1! “What kind of Engineer?”, you ask? An Electrical Engineer! The fact that most of the licensed engineers in our state are civil engineers, I strongly believe that we need at least one (at the very least) civil engineer on the Board. So I am looking to our ASCE membership to see if YOU are interested in applying for the BTR. If you are interested, please email me ASAP and I can provide more information on the steps to apply.
But back to that holiday joy! I would like to send you and your loved ones my warmest and most sincere wishes! I hope you are filled with peace, health and happiness this holiday season. Have a prosperous New Year!
See you (virtually) in 2022!
Here to serve YOU,
Jose Aguilar, PE, ENV SP
