TECHNICAL COMMITTEES
The Technical Committees, are committees which are delegated and coordinated by the Governing Board. They are made up of members of the Association who are experts in various professional fields of civil and environmental engineering. They aim to generate knowledge and opinion on relevant and topical issues, conferring public opinion and society as a whole with a groundswell of technical and informed views.
Any member can participate in the committees in various ways, from presenting technical documents for study or analysis, to proposing topical issues, proposing technical seminars or knowledge/sharing activities, or by sending specific questions to the Committees. The president of each committee will submit the requests received for review by all members.
To be a member of a technical committee, a request must be made to the chairman of each committee who will then forward the request to the Governing Board for a final decision.
