A Message from the President
Welcome to the Mid-Allegheny Section of the American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) Website!
ASHE is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization incorporated into Pennsylvania in 1958. Our mission is "To provide a forum for members and partners of the highway
industry to promote a safe, efficient and sustainable highway system through education, innovation and fellowship."
Our members and industry professionals are experiencing lifestyles that are busier than ever and our daily schedules are full of professional
and family obligations. In an ever growing “Social” society, we often find ourselves too busy to be “Social” except via electronic media. Our
industry has a depth and breadth of skill sets and experience encompassing planning, design, construction and inspection of transportation
infrastructure and we need to have these folks connect. I feel it is incumbent on the professional societies to encourage interaction and
face-to-face networking within our industry between owners, contractors and consultants. The Mid-Allegheny Section of ASHE has identified
this trend and as such a primary goal of our section has been to recognize the need for networking and fellowship.
The Mid-Allegheny Section is committed to the goals and initiatives of ASHE and the development of our local industry. Our section is committed to:
- Sharing information related to industry techniques and methods.
- Supporting our local students via sponsoring annual scholarships.
- Encouraging those involved or interested in our industry to join us as a section member.
- Encouraging fellowship and networking opportunities.
Our current membership is active in our meetings and events representing over 120 people within the industry. Come on out and join us!
Bring a new member of our industry with you and let’s get face-to-face for a dinner meeting, golf outing, sporting clay shoot or one of our summer tour events!
Membership information is available through our website's Membership Application page. If you'd like to become a section sponsor and join our Mid-Allegheny Club,
sponsorship information is available through our website's Section Sponsors page.
Sincerely yours,
Gary Madey, P.E.
