Travis N. Attanasio, PE, CFM, M.ASCE, was installed on September 16, 2022, as the 110th President of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Texas Section.
"I set a goal for myself in 2006 that someday I would lead the largest ASCE section in the organization and have been working towards it since," stated Attanasio. "I look forward to promoting smart infrastructure growth, interacting with legislators on a local, state, and national level, and showcasing the benefits of the civil engineering profession to the public."
ASCE Texas Section is one of the largest and most active sections of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the oldest national civil engineering society in the United States. Established in 1913, the Texas Section represents nearly 10,000 members throughout Texas. The section is headquartered in Austin and comprises 15 branches and student chapters at all the state's leading universities.
Attanasio brings his 20-year professional experience as a senior civil engineer as he takes over the Texas Section. He was the first full-time city engineer for the City of Haslet from 2016-2021. He also worked with several private consulting engineering firms ranging in employee size from six to over 500 employees with projects across many States. Attanasio states that this career path has led him to understand the infrastructure needs of Texas from both a private investment point of view and the demand of public needs in differing regions and environments.
Attanasio holds a B.S. degree in engineering – civil specialty from the Colorado School of Mines, graduating in 2002.
