House Joint Resolution 1248, sponsored by Reneau, honors the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) on the occasion of its sixty-ninth annual meeting. The resolution recognizes the AEG for its significant contributions to the fields of environmental and engineering geology, including leadership, advocacy, and applied research that benefit both its members and the public. Founded in 1957 and incorporated in 1963, the AEG has expanded to include twenty-six chapters, with one located in Nashville, Tennessee. The resolution highlights the organization's role in assessing natural hazards, protecting the environment, and supporting the design and construction of essential infrastructure.
The resolution also notes that the AEG will host its annual meeting in Chattanooga from September 13-19, 2026, marking the first time this event will take place in Tennessee. The General Assembly expresses its appreciation for the AEG's commitment to scientific inquiry and the study of geological processes, welcoming attendees to enjoy the offerings of Tennessee during the meeting. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, omitting the final clause.
