Ladies and Gentlemen:

The 2018 Annual Meeting for the Mississippi Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

will be held September 6-7 in Vicksburg, MS. This is your invitation to speak at the meeting. We are

extremely excited to bring the annual meeting to Central Mississippi.

The primary objective of the meeting is to perform ASCE business and serve our membership by providing

opportunities to earn quality professional development hours at a reasonable rate. The PDH’s will be

offered by means of presentations given during one or two concurrent sessions on Thursday and Friday,

September 6th and 7th. The number of concurrent sessions will be determined based on early attendance

predictions and the number of quality presentations submitted. Outside of the PDH’s, the annual meeting

is also an excellent opportunity to network with friends, associates, clients and peers in the civil engineering

community.

We would like to invite high-quality presentations on topics related to the civil engineering profession.

Topics related to any aspect of the civil engineering profession, including but not limited to practice,

standards, procedures, ethics, development, technology, research and policy are welcome. Presentations

will be selected by a committee with preference given to those that relate and appeal to civil engineering

professionals in Mississippi and those that are appropriate for the time limit and expected audience. The

Mississippi Section of ASCE also invites proposals for activities or events, including but not limited to

keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, field trips, tours, fellowship, etc. The proposals for special

presentations, activities or events will be considered for implementation into the meeting based on the

projected interest level and our ability to implement them within specific time slots. Detailed abstracts of

presentations, events, or activities – up to 500 words in length – should be submitted by e-mail to Steven

Worley (sworley@ara.com). To avoid repeating presentations to our membership, please include when and

where the presentation has been previously given, if applicable.

We appreciate any support of ASCE and hope that you will be able to join us.

Sincerely,

Steven Worley
