EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
The ASCE Leader Training Committee (LTC) has collected successful activities of Sections and Branches and compiled them into this Best Practices Guide. The purpose is to provide new ideas and activities that your Section or Branch can use to expand your program initiatives and support the mission, vision, and values of the society. This summary provides information on how to effectively use the Best Practices Guide, and contact information for comments or suggestions for future releases.
