Welcome to the website of the Southwest Branch of the Wisconsin Section of ASCE. Here you can find information about our monthly meetings, our officers, Board of Directors, committee chairs, outreach and community service opportunities, and more.

The Southwest Branch is one of four branches in the Section. We are your local connection to ASCE and represent members in the Southwest portion of the state, including the cities of Madison, Platteville, Janesville, Baraboo, and others. In addition, we have two very active and enthusiastic Student Chapters at University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

The Joint Board of Architects, Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, & Designers & Land Surveyors now requires continuing education for all professional engineers. The new law went into effect on August 1, 2012 and PDH credits must be earned before your license renewal in 2014. The SW Branch is committed to doing what it can to help you comply with the requirements of the law now in effect. One way in which we can help you is to provide high quality, educational programs at our monthly meetings and to keep you informed of other activities that will allow you to accrue the required number of PDH credits.

I am interested in hearing what you would like to see from Branch this year. Please send your ideas and suggestions to me at the email address listed below. This is your Branch and you have a say in how it is run. Better yet, get involved!

Please feel free to contact us  with any ideas that you may have for improvement to our website.

I look forward to another great year in the Southwest Branch and to seeing many of you at our monthly meetings.

Larry Ryan, P.E., M.ASCE
SW Branch President, 2012–2013
