Brad Kubiak, P.E., M.ASCE
Region 1 Director, Region 1 Chair

"Thanks to our preceding ASCE leaders, ASCE has continued to be known as a global leader in civil engineering and related technologies. As a Society, we are well positioned to move our profession forward by engineering our tomorrow and reimaging infrastructure. My purposeful change would focus on growing our membership, enhancement of collaboration with our future leaders (students) and integrating sustainability into our practice and Region 1 operations."

 Region 1 Governor
"I am excited to think I might play an active role in developing recommendations to the ASCE Board of Directors. The grass roots of strong sections are the key to ASCE. Sections are tasked with showcasing the value the overall organization and why membership is key to their personal growth and success. I believe the state ASCE infrastructure report cards are a great tool for members to use for advocacy to local policy makers, but also to get ASCE noticed and recognized by other non-member Civil Engineers."

"ASCE has allowed me to use my past experiences with respect to volunteerism to foster a sense of giving back to the community and “paying it forward”.  In performing my duties as a Region 1 Governor, I will endeavor to respect differences between individuals and/or entities while encouraging others to to join ASCE which has been one of the foundational cornerstones of my career."

Andrew Wojewodzic,M.ASCE

"I plan to focus on increasing communication and thoughtful partnerships between the NYS Sections & Branches, Region 1 as a whole, and the Society in general.  I would like to promote more joint ventures between these groups and our Student Chapters and Younger Member Groups in an effort to facilitate a smooth transition from college life to the professional world while offering constructive networking opportunities between our diverse memberships.  Engagement of students and younger members is critical in the growth of our profession and our Society.  The critical value of networking and collaboration cannot be understated in our ever growing and world changing vocation both in the public and private realm."

Francis Mahaney

Region 1 Governor
"I plan to continue my decade long effort to connect students to the profession. I hope to create a better understanding of the value of involvement such that it becomes common knowledge. I see engagement with government as another necessity and natural extension as trusted advisors. Through the above I expect to improve the cohesion between sections, branches, chapters, and groups. This cohesion will more easily highlight the desperate need for professionals and various funding for all our futures."
