  1. Section & Branches Affiliating with Institutes PARTNERS Promoting: • Advancement of Technology • Support Lifelong Learning • Collaborative Forums To Benefit Local Members

  2. Institutes Resulted From: • ASCE’s need for an increased focus on • CE Specialty Areas • in response to: • ASCE Members defecting to other organizations • The low numbersof Student Chapter Members transitioning to full ASCE Membership

  15. In Summary • S&B Members can be more effectively served by the formation of local Institute Chapters • Institutes were established to promoteNational-Local Collaboration on Technical Issues • We are not aware of any disadvantages of S&B-Institute Affiliations • If we find any, we’ll work to eliminate them. • Specifically, Institutes are not out to get S&B’s money!
