ASCE leaders in Texas at the Branch, Chapter, and Section-level, may qualify to join your colleagues each summer for Leadership Development Weekend (LDW). LDW aims to empower Texas Section members as they become leaders within ASCE and in their profession. LDW is a 2-day, invitation-only, workshop typically held in June or July. Each summer’s agenda is planned by the ASCE Texas Section President Elect.
Qualifying ASCE Texas Section officers, Texas Section leaders, Texas Institute Chapter leaders, Texas Student Chapter leaders, and Texas Branch leaders have been invited to join us for Leadership Development Weekend 2026: The HeART of Connection. The goal of this event is to empower our leaders—at all levels, skills, and experiences—as volunteer and professional leaders by providing you with relevant information, resources, and contacts. Your workshop experience will arm you with tools, resources, skills, and new experiences to help advance your volunteer, professional, and personal endeavors. The essential and emerging topics packed into this workshop agenda will leave you thinking about building real relationships. Being a servant leader—caring, supporting, and serving, can be tiring. It’s important to take time to recharge.
Interested in attending? Reach out to your Section, Chapter, or Branch President today to get more information!
In addition to unique leadership sessions, attendees will get an in-depth look at how ASCE and the Texas Section operate and how you fit into the ASCE web. We are confident you will come away with the tools you need to be a confident and successful volunteer leader within ASCE, that will also translate to your professional journey.
Those of you who enjoy networking and catching up with your fellow Texas Section members at these events will not be disappointed. There will be a group social event on Saturday evening as well as ample time to socialize with your fellow attendees throughout the weekend.
Leadership Development Weekend is an invitation-only event. Incoming Section leaders, Section committee and Institute Chapter chairs, and leaders from each Branch in Texas will be invited. We aim to invite as many dues-paying members of the Texas Section as possible, including younger members. Student Chapter leaders of local affiliates will also be given the opportunity to attend on a limited basis.
Can’t wait to join us? Contact your local Branch President, Chapter Chair, or the Texas Section Office to express your interest in attending LDW.
