Holiday Greetings from ASCE

 

Dear ASCE Region 10 (International) Members,

 

We, the Board of Governors and staff of Region 10, wish you all good tidings this Holiday Season and a New Year of fellowship, peace, and prosperity. May 2008 bring us all together under the auspices of the Society in a spirit of professional collaboration and good will.

 

We hope to see you at the ASCE Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in November 2008.

 

Very truly yours,

 

The Region 10 Board of Governors
