President’s Message

Spring is here; however, I’m not sure anyone told Mother Nature. I hope that you are planning some great vacations, trying to enjoy our wild Northern Nevada weather, or maybe hunkering in for what is going to be a busy construction season.

I want to thank all of those who attended the ASCE TMB Annual Awards and Student Recognition Banquet. I had many compliments on how fun the event was, which is a testament to the hard work our Board Members have put into the event each year.

Those who were recognized at the event were well deserved; I feel grateful to be a part of such an inspiring group of students, engineers and professionals. For those who might not have been able to attend the event, we have included a re cap of the night’s award winners including engineer of the year, young engineer of the year, and projects of the year awards.

This month our UNR engineering students are once again heading off to Mid Pac. Join me in wishing them luck, although we know they won’t need it! They have always done a great job of representing us in the past! This year San Jose State University is hosting the event from April 18th to April 20th, 2019. UNR will compete against other great teams across the west coast in events such as concrete canoe, geo wall, and water treatment. Good luck and Go Pack!

We have put together another great speaker topic this month. I hope to see you all at the next luncheon, which is April 9th, 2019 at the Peppermill.

Luncheon Summary

Information Governance - Risks and Opportunities

Abstract: Every organization today, regardless of the sector or size of business, must strike a balance between the risks of having unmanaged information and the opportunity to leverage that information. Organizations that can find that balance can achieve significant cost savings, can minimize legal and business threats, and can create optimal processes aimed at using information for business value. Information Governance is for everyone.
