The Birmingham Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers was pleased to host Congressman Gary Palmer at our November Branch Meeting. Congressman Palmer gave our guests an overview of his accomplishments from his time in Congress including his work on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee, Science, Space, and Technology Committee and the Budget Committee. Mr. Palmer also provided an update on infrastructure funding, energy policy and de-regulation with time for Q & A for attendees at the end of the event. The Birmingham Branch would like to thank all members and guests for attending this event, and we look forward to hosting our half-day seminar in December.
