Happy New Year from ASCE SB-V! Print

President's Report

In early December, we hosted our annual Holiday Party at Corks N' Crowns in Santa Barbara. Over 30 of us gathered together to catch up on the last year, eat delicious food, admire each other's ugly holiday sweaters (pictured below), listen to live jazz music, and announce Project of the Year (POY) award winners. A representative from each project provided a short presentation, which was greatly enjoyed by all of us! The Project of the Year winners are listed below. Thank you to everyone who attended and sent in nominations this year!

 

Project of the Year Winner: 

North Pleasant Valley Desalter Facility, City of Camarillo

Project of the Year Runner Up: 

Avenue of Flags Median 2 Improvements Project, City of Buellton

Project of the Year Honorable Mention(s):

Matilija Dam Ecosystem Restoration, Santa Ana Blvd Bridge Replacement, County of Ventura Public Works Agency

Conejo School Road/Willow Lane Sidewalk and Bicycle Lanes Project, City of Thousand Oaks

This event was a great wrap up to Fall 2023 where we visited the City of Camarillo's North Pleasant Valley Desalter Facility (POY winner) in October for a lunch technical tour and hosted a successful joint Happy Hour with APWA. We have an exciting lineup of technical talks and social events for 2024 so be sure to check out the Upcoming Meetings section below and thank you again for your continued support!
