Social and Environmental Concerns Committee Seeks New Members

The Construction Institute’s Committee for Social and Environmental Concerns in Construction (CSECC) seeks to enhance its ranks with a few additional members.

The CSECC seeks CI members that are construction industry professionals (design, construction, Owners’ representatives, academicians, etc.) who have worked on or are working on projects that identify or emphasize the social and environmental concerns in construction. Applicants should provide qualifications and a brief description of previous or current relevant projects.

Selected new members will be asked to participate in one of the following sub-committees to produce a subcommittee report:

• Rebuilding the World Trade center. Work to include evaluation of the planning, design and/or construction of infrastructure and/or buildings vis-à-vis social and environmental concerns.
• Rebuilding the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina. Work to include evaluation of the planning, design and/or construction of infrastructure and/or buildings vis-à-vis social and environmental concerns.
• “Sustainable” design and construction. Work to include evaluating the role played by the construction industry in “sustainable” local, regional and global growth and development.

Applicants should identify the subcommittee on which they would like to work.

The search committee for screening additional members will be headed by Enno “Ed” Koehn, CSECC Vice Chairman, and Lonnie Coplen, CSECC Secretary. If you are interested in being considered for membership, please contact Tracie Smith at tjsmith@asce.org or 703-295-6205.
