We are excited to announce that in 2025 the Arizona Section will celebrate its 100th birthday.  On April 20,1925, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Board approved the Arizona Section’s constitution.  

In early 2023, the Arizona Section Board established a Celebration Committee to plan and implement events and activities to celebrate our centennial. The Centennial Committee is currently planning the following events and activities for 2025:

1. The Centennial logo shown on this page was designed by ASCE Member Melissa Darr.

2. Proclamation signed by the Arizona Governor recognizing the Centennial.

3. Gala Celebration dinner has been scheduled for Saturday April 26 at the Arizona State University’s Tempe Campus.

4. Local Celebrations in Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma, and Phoenix: the events have been planned in collaboration with the local branch, younger member group, and university student chapter.

a. Flagstaff: June 7

b. Phoenix: October 11

c. Tucson: February 28 & March 1

d. Yuma: October 9

5. Keepsake(s)

6. Historical Record Search and Timeline.

7. Video

More details will be posted as they become available.

Volunteers will be needed to help implement selected events and activities.  The need for volunteers will be shared in the Section newsletter.  We encourage you to step forward to assist the Arizona Section with this effort.  

The Committee has established a fundraising campaign to help cover a portion of the costs associated with the Centennial celebration.

 If you have any questions, please contact the Committee at centennial@azsce.org. Larry Hanson and Stephanie Templeton are serving as the Committee Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively.

Help us honor the history of the Arizona Section and participate in the celebration!
