A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

It rained the week before the December meeting and over 120 members turnedout to hear Carl Nelson, Director of Public Works, EMA, County of Orange,speak on the Santa Ana River Flood Control Project. The upcoming Januarymeeting is on Nuclear Power Issues, a situation equally as important toOrange County engineers and residents alike. While 1 was happy to see theeffect of rain in peaking interest in the December meeting, a similar interest-sparking incident is not desired for an equally controversial topic. I expect tosee everyone at the January meeting, fresh from the glow of the holidays.

Recent and continued court decisions relative to professional liability, coupledwith increased difficulty in obtaining liability insurance has resulted inoccupational crisis in all professions, civil engineers notwithstanding. Whilephysicians struggled through this dilemma, strides in medical care wereaccomplished by forward-thinking professionals, confident in their knowledge,and application of proven and theorized techniques.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT (continued)

As Civil Engineers we can remain safely mired in the repetition of previous designsor we can strive for excellence in the design and application of proven theoremscoupled with sound engineering judgement and boldly move into 1986. Lapel pinsreading 'CE - Commitment to Excellence' are available through ASCE for the asking.Let's have each of us commit to this premise and be an integral part in shapingOrange County.

The Orange County Branch, with over i, 300 assigned members and over 750 dues-

paying members, would rank high in the nation among Sections. While we remain apart of the Los Angeles Section, benefiting from the association, we can still maintaina separate identity, aiive and vital within the County. Come to the next meeting,bring a friend, and experience the benefits of being an Orange County Branch Member.Enjoy the exchange of ideas and voice your opinions.

Steve Marvin
