Government Affairs & Professional Practice Committee

Posted

MISSION

The Government Affairs & Professional Practice Committee serves as both a catalyst and facilitator in promoting civil engineering professional concerns related to local or national government affairs. The committee’s mission is to investigate, study, and make recommendations concerning Standards of Practice affecting a combination of professional ethics, legislation and interagency coordination in which the civil engineer has a particular interest.

ACTIVITY

Issues undertaken by the committee evolve either from the Board of Government or within the general membership. Examples include: 

  • Advocate for the successful passage of Quality Infrastructure Legislation (also known as Quality Based Selection, QBS).

  • Become better informed about the various infrastructure funding programs that could be more effectively expedited to local government.

  • Continually monitor Professional Engineering Registration Boards and their composition.

  • Stimulate interest and personal involvement by BSCES members in government-related legislative actions which affect the civil engineering profession.

The committee is also responsible for establishing and maintaining liaisons with appropriate national committees, citizen groups and other professional or industrial organizations in conjunction with current Key Contact responsibilities within the Section.

Join the Boston Society of Civil Engineers/ASCE for Engineers and Land Surveyors Day at the State House. Engineers, Land Surveyors, Public Works Professionals and other design professionals will meet with Massachusetts state legislators at the State House on May 23, 2017. We arrange for meetings with our members' Massachusetts State Representatives and State Senators based on where our members live and vote.
