American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE members elected Maria as president of the Society for the 2022-2023 term, after a month-long election.
Maria’s passion and energy is rooted in the ability to change the world. As an ASCE volunteer, she has been part of the society’s major transformation: seeing the need for professional development for students and younger members, changing governance structure, creating institutes, starting volunteer hill visits and the Report Card, shifting the ASCE paradigm to sustainable infrastructure, moving to electronic publications and Future World Vision.
“For those who know Maria, she is highly respected within the larger civil engineering community and beyond. It comes as no surprise that this significant achievement was by election of ASCE’s own membership” said Iver Skavdal, GHD’s Executive General Manager for the United States.
As the current Treasurer of the organization, she has been involved in the continuous improvement of staff organizational efficiency, evaluating new revenue streams, and embracing the new virtual reality to increase membership, participation and involvement. The pandemic created many challenges for Civil Engineering, but Maria is determined to find creative solutions for a brighter future.
