Thank you for joining us for the first-ever CECON in Frisco and supporting ASCE Texas Section initiatives. With the challenges we all experienced and shared the last couple of years, we also see a lot of new opportunities through countless project and job opportunities to hybrid work environment adaptations. Through it all, with the help of dedicated volunteer leaders and experts, two massive infrastructure reports were released, Texas Infrastructure Report Card and Reliability & Resilience in the Balance, a vision beyond Winter Storms Uri and Viola – delivering essential infrastructure analysis and recommendations for the public and providing elected officials the tools necessary to support infrastructure advancement.

#CECON2022

From planning and design, to management and implementation, it is vital for businesses and communities to develop engineers who collaborate to reach further. Coming together as a community is key and the CECON 2022 program encourages this mindset in all engineers. After you have enjoyed keynote sessions by community leaders, one of a kind panels, and a wide variety of technical & specialized breakout sessions during this 3-day conference, you will be better prepared and inspired to continue overcoming current and future challenges. Our industry’s unique abilities give us strength as a unified community!

KEYNOTE

Clint Bruce was born in Arkansas and raised in Texas. A standout football player, Bruce was given the opportunity to play at multiple Division One programs. Ultimately, Bruce took his sense of patriotism and passion for the game to the United States Naval Academy.

Clint FormerBruceNavy Seal, Ex-NFL Football Player

Clint Bruce is an integral member of Team Never Quit. Today, he lives is Dallas with his college sweetheart and their children.

Bruce is one of the most decorated Navy Athletes in the Academy’s history. He was a four-year letter winner, captain of the football team, MVP, and named to multiple all-star teams during his career. Bruce is also one of the few service academy athletes given the opportunity to play professionally with both the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints.

Thursday, September 15 at 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

KEYNOTE

When given the opportunity to become a Navy SEAL, Bruce made the tough decision to leave the NFL. Completing Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) training in 1998 with Class 217, Bruce reported to SEAL Team FIVE in Coronado. As a SEAL Officer he deployed with three Platoons in direct support of Counter Terrorism Missions and the Global War on Terror.

Since leaving the Navy, Bruce has founded two companies and one foundation. The first, Trident Response Group or TRG, is a trusted advisor, analyzing risk for America’s best businesses, leaders, and families. HoldFast is a speaker’s bureau that coaches and employs veterans and transitioning professional athletes, providing world-class speakers to worldclass companies. And Carry the Load is a foundation created to help America better honor fallen firefighters, law enforcement officers, rescue personnel and military during the month of May.

When a major crisis hits and lives are impacted the response from most organizations is parochial and agenda driven. ASCE volunteers from across the State started unraveling the issues and problems while the storms were still raging outside our homes. The early analysis confirmed that a much more complex problem of interdependence between infrastructure sectors combined with policies and markets structures that undermined reliability and resilience. This team was also driven to make substantive recommendations and proposed actions that would meaningfully address the identified problems. Following the issuance of the reports and various regulatory filings, a unified community of various committees within ASCE are now actively helping to communicate and advocate for the changes need with industry, regulators and legislators. The issue of revenue sufficiency for infrastructure impairs the reliability and resilience of all infrastructure and touch every member of ASCE and the public. Our objective remains to help ensure that Reliability and Resilience are prioritized, appropriately funded and supported on an ongoing basis.
