Message from the ChairmanJuly 2014
A few months have elapsed since we last met in Honolulu,
Hawaii, U.S.A. to have our meetings and to visit the CECAR7
conference venue. Besides ACECC business, I hope everybody
has an enjoyable and relaxing time in Hawaii. On behalf of
the Organizing Committee of CECAR7, I would like to ask all
the participants to give your feedback, comments, ideas or suggestions to the
Organization Committee after your visit to the conference venue. The Organization
Committee had a conference call last week and CECAR7 is taking shape under the
able leadership of Dr. Udai Singh. If any member society would like to organize or
to have a session or a workshop of particular interest to your members, please let
the Organization Committee know so that we can try our best to accommodate your
needs.
The Secretary General is working diligently preparing the ACECC meetings to
be held in Tokyo in November 2014. If there are any agenda items you would like
to include for discussion, please inform the Secretary General in advance. At the
same time, JSCE is working extremely hard organizing the international symposium
to celebrate the 100th anniversary of JSCE. I understand there will be an excellent
technical program. We are all excited to participate in such an important event in
civil engineering history. In the meantime, I am grateful to the Institution of Engineers,
Bangladesh for their acceptance of the responsibility to host our first series of
meetings in 2015.
The Finance Committee under the leadership of Professor Jae-Woo Park,
our Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee, is working diligently drafting
guidelines for allowable expenses for ACECC officials representing ACECC to
attend various events. A well-established finance system is extremely important for

the healthy development and sustainability of ACECC. On the other hand, the
participation of ACECC officials in international events, such as WEFO meetings,
Annual Meetings or Conferences of member societies etc., is equally important to the
growth and prosperity of ACECC.
ASCE will have their Global Engineering Conference 2014 – "From Community
Projects to Giga Projects: Civil Engineers having a Global Impact" during October
7-11, 2014 in Panama City, Panama. The registration is open now. This is the first
ASCE Annual Conference outside North America. Both of the last two ASCE annual
conferences outside the United States were held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
2014 also marks the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal – a civil engineering
wonder that every civil engineer should be proud of. If you have not visited the
Panama Canal yet, this is your golden opportunity.
All in all, we are all busy with ACECC business to make civil engineering a
better profession and to benefit mankind. If you have any questions or comments,
please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. If you have any
chance to stop by Hong Kong for business or pleasure, please let me know. In the
meantime, I look forward to meeting all of you again in Tokyo, Japan in November
2014 if not earlier.

you accept, I need the title, a brief summary description, and the point of contact for
your session by the end of October 2014. Please make sure that this is not from one
of the TCC committees, as the TCC Chairman is already submitting those sessions. I
look forward to receiving session proposals from all of you.
Mahalo!
