President Message
Spring is upon us as we welcome the bustling avian
species and bursting buds of green. Spring is a time
of new beginnings and growth and seems fitting
that this is my last President Message as ASCE-NH
prepares for the transition to the new board
members. I’ll be shifting to Past-President and
applauding Logan Johnson to the stage as our new
ASCE-NH President.

several years back. Leadership and volunteers are
in short supply, but I really have to give credit to
Karen Huberdeau, our Younger Member Committee
Chairwoman, for her incredible commitment and
effectiveness at encouraging younger members to
become more active in ASCE. She has done a
phenomenal job reaching out to the University and
connecting students with professionals. If you
haven’t attended one of the Younger Member
Social events, I encourage your to do so. She might
just motivate you and change your life.
Karen isn’t the only member that has accomplished
a great deal. Mike Bogue, our current Sr. Delegate,
has rekindled our presence in the Region 1
Assembly. He has also taken on the responsibilities
of coordinating the P.E. Refresher Course. His
organizational skills have revitalized the
professionalism and dependability of the course.
This task truly requires too much to ask for from one
person, but Mr. Bogue championed his duties along
with all his other responsibilities with work and
family. I nominated Mr. Bogue to become our ASCE-
NH President-Elect and I encourage you to support
him with your vote as he will be an extraordinary
leader of the group.
There is one more member that I’ve watched grow
over the last few years. Tim Dunn, our ASCE-NH
Clerk, has really transformed on a personal and
professional level and I peg him as becoming a
president of this organization in the close years to
come. He exhibits all the enthusiasm and leadership
qualities that will help him make his mark on this
industry.
Although we do the official transfer in May, our
season isn’t over until we load up and crank some
golf balls down at the ol’ Beaver Meadows! Our golf
planning committee, championed by Anabelle
Allen, our ASCE-NH Vice President, has been
working diligently to find sponsors and prepare for
the Annual ASCE-NH Section Scholarship Golf
Outing and Lunch/Prizes. This is the starter pistol
to the golf season. It’s the first day of June and will
be coming up quickly, so get REGISTERED before

practice, we know you, it’s not going to help…
And lastly, a friendly reminder as to the importance
of cultivating leaders in the engineering community.

relationships obtained while volunteering with
