CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

The ASCE Board of Direction received for first consideration and discussion at its July 2020 meeting a Constitutional amendment that would allow ASCE student members the right to vote. As required by the governing documents, the amendment was presented for second reading consideration at the October 2020 meeting. The Board of Direction approved the amendment by two-thirds vote and recommends approval by the Society’s membership.

The amended Constitutional language is as follows:

2.0 Grades and Qualifications. Membership in the Society is available worldwide to civil engineers, civil engineering students, and other persons similarly qualified in another branch of engineering or in an allied profession. The voting membership grades of the Society shall be Student Member, Affiliate Member, Associate Member, Member, Fellow, Distinguished Member, and President-Emeritus. The non-voting membership grade of the Society shall be Student Member. The rights, privileges, responsibilities and qualifications of membership shall be set forth in the Society’s Bylaws and/or other appropriate governing documents.
