A Message from the President
Jose Aguilar, PE, ENV SP
Hello ASCE Arizona Section Members,

I hope your summer is going well! As you already know, summer time is quite hot in Arizona so hopefully you had some time to escape the heat by going on a vacation or heading up to the mountains in our cooler cities up north. If you haven’t already done that, you should! Everyone I talk to in our industry is super busy at work so here is your friendly reminder that you also need to take care of yourself. Whether that is making time for a hobby or taking some time off to enjoy the outdoors and disconnect from the fast pace. Burnout is very real and our currentworkload paired with increased staff changes is a perfect recipe for it if we don’t do something about it. Here is a quick article to help you identify burnout and how to take action.

On a completely different subject, did you know that our ASCE Arizona Section will be turning 100 years old on April 20, 2025? If you ask me, we look great for being 99! We are already preparing for a celebration in 2025, but we need your help. If you, or someone you know, has any information on the establishment and early days of our AZ Section please shoot us an email! We would love to see any memorabilia/photos from the early days and straighten out a couple of discrepancies in the records. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you all!  

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

The ASCE Arizona Section is here to serve you,
