Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) have elected Carol Ellinger Haddock as president of the Society for the 2026-2027 term after a month-long election that closed on June 1, 2025.
Haddock is currently the vice-chair of ASCE's Committee on America's Infrastructure, which released the 2025 Report Card for America's Infrastructure in March. She previously served on ASCE's board of direction from 2016-2019 and has served in a variety of leadership roles in ASCE's Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI). Haddock has been a licensed professional engineer in Texas since 1997. She is currently a professor-in-the-practice of Rice University and a senior program advisor of Black and Veatch. She previously served as director of Houston's Department of Public Works from 2017 to 2024.
The Society president serves as the chief representative and spokesperson for the Society, working with ASCE's executive director. The president chairs the board of direction and the executive committee and assists in educating and motivating members and potential members by promoting the Society's principles, policies and goals. The president has a one-year term but will spend three years advancing Society initiatives in the roles of president-elect, president and past-president.
"It takes everyone within ASCE providing their unique contribution while working together for us to achieve our mission and deliver our vision — engineered and natural systems work in harmony for the benefit of humanity," said Haddock. "Not only do we have a mission that is people based, but we also have a commitment to our members and the general public to their wellbeing and future growth."
Haddock has been an active member of ASCE for more than 30 years. In addition to her service on ASCE's board of direction, she served on the Society's public policy committee, flood safety policies and practices task committee and in a variety of leadership roles with the ASCE Texas Section and was elected as president of ASCE's Houston Branch in 2010.
