“Based on Moustafa’s dedication to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) combined with his experience as Treasurer and Director of the Society, I recommend Moustafa Gouda for ASCE President. I have worked with Moustafa for many years and know that he is committed to ASCE and civil engineering. Moustafa is a “rare” engineer in that he is a “local” engineer with a “global” perspective. Given the importance today for engineers to understand the global engineering challenges we face, as well as the need to integrate engineering with public policy and social management systems, there is no better candidate than Moustafa Gouda. In addition, based on his long history with ASCE, his commitment to younger engineers, his appreciation for a diverse membership, including women engineers, and his continual quest to improve the image of engineers around the world, I personally believe he is the best choice for President. I would urge you to vote and to cast your vote for Moustafa Gouda.”

“I know that you have also been a tireless mentor to attract the best and brightest to the Civil Engineering profession, while making our workforce more diverse. Your services to the Profession through ASCE and local engineering and civic organizations have been exemplary. And in today’s cloudy fiscal reality, you are second to none in your knowledge of ASCE finances based on your service on membership, membership, benefits, finance, and audit and as Treasurer. I have truly cherished the National Committee work we have done together as well as the work in the District and now in the Region. And most importantly you have great passion for our profession and Society.

Based on your professional leadership and vision for a better future, I wholeheartedly support you as our next President-Elect.”

“Moustafa's high level of enthusiasm, energy, and commitment to ASCE along with his local and national leadership experience makes him a strong presidential candidate. I worked with Moustafa on ASCE's Board of Direction and since then have witnessed his continuing and active involvement in Region 1 and on ASCE's national committees. He will be a great President for the Society.”

“I had an opportunity to meet Moustafa Gouda earlier this year at an ASCE Leadership Conference and have also heard him speak on a number of occasions. Mr. Gouda is a dynamic individual with a clear vision. At this point in our history, we need a leader who will be visible to the entire ASCE membership as well as those we are trying to reach outside of our profession, both in the US and around the world. If you agree with me that now is the time for highly visible dynamic leadership, then you too will vote for Moustafa Gouda for ASCE President”

“Moustafa has extensive and varied experience on the national level of ASCE. Two of his strongest points are his experience in ASCE finances and his advocacy of the members. His service as Treasurer and involvement in the finance, investment, and program committees will serve our Society well in these uncertain economic times. While Moustafa was Treasurer, ASCE finances were strengthened to the highest levels it had been in decades while still keeping members dues at a reasonable level. Moustafa's support of our members can be seen from everything he does for ASCE from the Branch level to National, because what he does is based upon his belief of what he thinks will be best and most wanted by our members.”
