Working Groups

The principal business of PIANC is the sponsorship of technical working groups. Working Groups are proposed by PIANC technical commissions to undertake studies of specific subjects related to the implementation of the Association's Strategic Plan. Each member country is entitled to appoint one representative, one alternate, and one Young Professional (40 years of age or under) to each working group. The working group is expected to produce:

• a report with results/conclusions/recommendations
• an extended summary of the report fit for publication on the PIANC website
• a management summary

The United States has been a member of PIANC since 1902. Composed of dues-paying individual and corporate members, PIANC USA is administered by law under the auspices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
