We’re excited to bring the 2026 ASCE/APWA Alabama Summer Meeting back to Orange Beach at the Event Center at The Wharf!
We are preparing another exciting program to cover a wide range of Civil Engineering and Public Works topics. We plan to cover these topics in multiple sessions over 3 days: Wednesday afternoon (July 29, Thursday morning (July 30) and Friday morning (July 31).
Members of the Alabama Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) were proud to represent our Section at the ASCE Legislative Fly-In in Washington, D.C. on March 19, 2026.
This annual event brings civil engineers from across the country together to engage directly with federal lawmakers and advocate for critical infrastructure priorities. Our Alabama delegation, Payton Billingsley, John Corbell, Lawren Pratt, and Kyle Couture, had the opportunity to meet with the offices of Gary Palmer, Dale Strong, Shomari Figures, Terri Sewell, Tommy Tuberville, and Katie Britt to discuss infrastructure needs and priorities impacting communities across Alabama.
Advocacy is a vital part of our profession, and events like this help ensure that the voice of civil engineers is heard at the national level. We’re proud of our members for representing Alabama and strengthening the connection between engineering expertise and public policy.
We hope this inspires even more participation from our Section in future Fly-Ins and at events closer to home, like our recent Legislative Drive-In in Montgomery.
The 9th Annual Alabama Civil Engineering Legislative Day Drive-In was held on March 11, 2026, in Montgomery. This year’s event was a tremendous success, bringing together members of the Alabama Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers and ACEC Alabama to engage directly with state leaders and advocate for the civil engineering profession. We were especially grateful to have Clyde Chambliss, P.E., join us to discuss key issues and legislation impacting infrastructure and our industry.
From the legislative briefing and discussions at the Alabama Department of Archives & History to visits at the Alabama State House, our members demonstrated the importance of being actively involved in the legislative process. The opportunity to connect one-on-one with legislators and share perspectives on infrastructure needs across Alabama is critical to ensuring our profession has a strong and effective voice.
Events like Legislative Day reinforce the vital role civil engineers play not only in designing and maintaining infrastructure, but also in shaping the policies that guide our communities’ future. Participation helps promote informed decision-making and strengthens advocacy efforts across the state.
We encourage everyone to continue building on this momentum by staying engaged with local representatives and participating in future advocacy initiatives. Together, we can continue to elevate the civil engineering profession and make a lasting impact on Alabama’s infrastructure.
