Situation: An ASCE member submits a request to testify at a state legislative hearing on waste treatment in a coastal U.S. state. Along with his request, he submits biographical information describing his background in sewerage, including his chairmanship of an ASCE committee on waste management. While the member seeks to participate on his own initiative and not at the behest of ASCE, the materials published by the state in advance of the public forum contain numerous references to his affiliation with ASCE. Furthermore, the member is introduced at the hearing as the chair of an ASCE waste management committee.
