The Mohawk-Hudson Section held its 73rd Annual Dinner Meeting on May 12th at the Century House in Latham. We had an excellent turnout for the event with just over 100 section members, students and guests attending. In addition, there were 11 past section presidents who were able to join us for the evening. Dan Moore, P.E. of New York State Department of Transportation provided an excellent presentation on the $43 million dollar interchange reconstruction project at I-87 Exit 6.
At the dinner meeting we will celebrate the presentation of awards and achievements of fellow section members. We had nine section members who achieved life member status this past year. Five of the nine new life members and their guests were able to attend the dinner. We were excited to have Tony Putin, P.E., M.ASCE, Region 1 Director, and Shawn Kelley, Ph.D., M.ASCE Region 1 Governor with us for the evening. It was an honor to have Tony install the 2011-2012 section officers at the event.
On behalf of the Mohawk-Hudson Section, I would like to thank Ashraf Ghaly, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE for serving as last year’s president. Ash has worked very hard this past year to represent the section at as many events as possible, at the local, regional and national level. I would also like to thank our board members for their continued dedication. We welcome Barry Anctil, P.E., M.ASCE to the board this year as section treasurer. Thanks to all the committee chairs for your hard work of the past year. This year we welcome new Transportation Technical Group Chair Stephan Godlewski, P.E., M.ASCE and Structural Engineering Institute Chair Jeffrey Bak, P.E., M.ASCE.
This upcoming year will be a busy one for sure! Here is some information on upcoming events:
