March 20th was the first day of Spring.  This usually brings longer days and warmer weather.  It also marks the beginning of the many annual events that are organized by the Branch. 

Registration has already begun for the Stormwater Workshop sponsored by the Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Branches.  The event will take place from 9 am – 2:30 pm at the Long Key Nature Center is Davie.  The workshop will provide updates on stormwater regulation.  Spots are filling up quickly.  Register today at http://ascestormwater.eventbrite.com/. 

Plans for the annual Bowlathon are being finalized, and a date has been chosen.  The event will take place on Saturday, June 19th, at Brunswick Margate Lanes.  If you have been to a Bowlathon in the past, you will know that we raffle great prizes, including a Kindle, navigation system, digital camera and more.  Start picking your team members, as registration is starting now.

The Florida Section Annual Meeting is taking place in our own backyard this year at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.  Register now for the July 15-17th meeting.  Receive all of your PDHs, network with people all over the state, and learn about some great topics.  Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Aside from the great events noted above, I want to share a program that ASCE Nationals is promoting.  The economy is not at its strongest, and many firms are downsizing to survive.  Members that are no longer employed and are having problems maintaining their ASCE membership can now receive assistance by Nationals.  If interested, please contact ASCE Headquarters.

If you are receiving a copy of the newsletter bi-monthly, then you are most likely an ASCE member.  When registering for your annual membership, did you “check the box” to become a Section and Branch Member?  The Florida Section and Broward Branch provide several opportunities, events and support for its members.  Specifically, our Branch has reduced lunch meeting fees this year as membership privilege to offset the Section/Branch dues.  As an added bonus, if you can prove that you indeed did “check the box” to become a Florida Section and Broward Branch member, you will receive one free lunch meeting.  Simply bring a copy of your registration to a lunch meeting of your choice.
