The ASCE Alabama Section Winter Meeting Conference, hosted by the ASCE Mobile Branch, was an outstanding success! With more than 130 attendees from across the State, this year’s conference showcased the strength, professionalism, and camaraderie of civil engineers throughout Alabama.
We were honored to have the Mayor of Mobile kick off the conference, discussing Civil Engineering projects and challenges, setting the tone for what proved to be an engaging and informative agenda. The program featured excellent local presentations and discussions that highlighted important projects, emerging trends, and the impactful work our members are doing in their communities every day.
Beyond the technical sessions, one of the most meaningful aspects of the Winter Meeting was the opportunity to connect. The networking throughout the conference was exceptional. As colleagues reconnected, new professional relationships were formed, and old friends had the chance to catch up. These moments of fellowship are what truly make our Alabama Section strong.
A very special and sincere thank you goes to our sponsors and exhibitors. Your support made this event possible. From the quality of the venue to the overall experience for attendees, your investment in the Alabama Section and the profession does not go unnoticed. We simply could not host a successful conference without you.
Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, sponsored, and volunteered. The 2026 Winter Meeting was a tremendous success, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we continue serving the civil engineering community across Alabama.
The Alabama Section of the American Society of Engineers along with the Alabama Chapter of the American Public Works Association, held its 2025 Annual Engineering Conference from July 17–19, 2025, in Orange Beach, Alabama, bringing together professionals, educators, and students from across the state for three days of learning and collaboration. The event featured a robust program that included technical presentations, professional development sessions, and panel discussions on topics such as sustainable infrastructure, emerging technologies, and engineering leadership. Keynote speakers from across the industry shared insights into the evolving challenges and opportunities within the engineering profession, while exhibitors showcased the latest tools, materials, and innovations shaping the field.
In addition to the technical program, the conference provided numerous opportunities for networking and fellowship among attendees. Evening receptions and social events allowed participants to connect in a relaxed coastal setting, fostering collaboration and professional growth beyond the formal sessions. The picturesque backdrop of Orange Beach added to the conference’s success, offering attendees a chance to enjoy the Gulf Coast’s scenic beauty while engaging in meaningful professional exchange. By the conference’s conclusion, participants left with fresh ideas, strengthened professional relationships, and a renewed enthusiasm for advancing engineering in Alabama and beyond.
We are thrilled to share the highlights from the successful 8th Annual Alabama Civil Engineering Legislative Day Drive-In, which took place on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, in Montgomery, Alabama. Hosted jointly by the Alabama Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Council of Engineer Companies (ACEC) of Alabama, the event brought together civil engineers, legislators, and stakeholders for a day focused on legislative issues impacting our profession.
The day commenced at 10:00 a.m. at the historic Alabama Department of Archives & History, where attendees gathered for a Legislative Briefing. Over lunch, generously provided by the ASCE Montgomery Branch, participants engaged in insightful discussions about key bills affecting civil engineering in Alabama. Senator Clyde Chambliss, P.E., and Senate President Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger gave us legislative updates, outlining legislative challenges and support opportunities crucial to our community.
Following the briefing, attendees proceeded to the Alabama State House, where they had the invaluable opportunity to connect directly with legislators. This direct engagement allowed our members to advocate effectively for policies that promote infrastructure development, sustainability, and the advancement of civil engineering practices statewide.
The event marked a pivotal moment for our community, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and collaboration in shaping legislative outcomes that benefit civil engineers and the public alike. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended, contributed, and supported this event, making it a resounding success.
Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage with ASCE as we continue our commitment to advancing civil engineering in the great state of Alabama.
