2023 UEF Annual Report

clipboard image

In 2023 the investments and the stock market had a very good year. The United Engineering Foundation (UEF) was positively impacted by this condition resulting in financial gains.  

The Board of Trustees met virtually on February 9, May 23 and July 25 along with a face-to-face annual Board of Trustees meeting hosted by AIME held on October 24th in Kansas City, Missouri.

The UEF continues the tradition as a significant leader in the engineering community. These efforts are consistent with the UEF vision – “To advance the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity.”

The UEF Difference

UEF grants have helped broaden the impact of nearly every major outreach project that ASCE has developed. The foundation’s support is invaluable.”
