  • 1.  Proposed Changes to ASCE Governance - Ask the Committee

    Posted 12 hours ago

    The ASCE board approved recommendations from the Task Committee on Governance Restructuring that aims at better equipping leadership to act more nimbly; a board that is more strategic and agile.

    The approved measure would reduce the board from 18 members to 12. It would create a new Geographic Board of Governors comprising the chairs of each Region Board of Governors, similar in structure and function to the current Technical Region Board of Governors.

    Do you have questions? Members of the committee are here to answer your questions.

    All submitted questions will be reviewed by committee members and receive a response by Monday, December 22 on this thread. Click reply to submit your question. 

    Quick reminder: All questions must comply with the ASCE Collaborate Code of Conduct. 

    I look forward to hearing from you! 

    ****This event is for ASCE members only. You can join ASCE here.

    What drove the decision to reduce the board from 18 to 12 members?  Specific examples could help others who sit on or manage boards.

    What are the different outcomes you expect to see with the new board size? This would help determine whether the new board is working as planned.

    What is done or planned by way of training and coaching? Ditto for how priorities are established. In my experience, making boards work effectively is challenging.
