Local Committee
The Civil Engineering Profession is heavily influenced by the decisions of our elected officials and appointed public policy makers. All ASCE members are encouraged to get informed about the issues and decisions being made and contact their representatives to ensure their voice is heard.
The Pittsburgh Section Government Relations Committee helps to keep our members updated about current legislation which may impact our profession.
