Public Outreach Challenge Winners Announced NCSEA's Communications Committee challenged the Member Organizations (state SEAs) to inform and educate other industries, professions, and the general public about structural engineering through the publication of news articles, videos, blogs and other creative content.   The SEAs were asked to submit a portfolio of content generated over the past two years, which the judging panel would score based on both quantity and potential audience. The Member Organizations that participated in the inaugural challenge submitted over 300 individual pieces of content. Three MOs were recognized as finalists at the NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit in Anaheim, California in November. Finalists each received a shake table for use in their public outreach efforts. From these finalists, a winner was selected and named the Voice of the Profession Third Place: Structural Engineers Association of Oregon (SEAO) Stand-Out Contribution Second Place: Structural Engineers Association of Illinois (SEAOI) Stand-out Contribution First Place & Voice of the Profession : Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) Stand-out Contribution Read more about the Public Outreach Challenge here .

NCSEA's New Strategic Plan NCSEA unveiled its newly developed Strategic Plan at November’s Structural Engineering Summit. NCSEA is dedicated to its Member Organizations and to advancing the structural engineering profession. The updated plan continues this dedication and pushes further in support of the profession. It also aligns with the Joint Vision for the Future of Structural Engineering that NCSEA, CASE and SEI have committed to cooperate on and invest in for the future of the profession. Last week, NCSEA held a webinar that provided an overview of the plan as well as background on the development process, a review of the updated vision, mission and goal statements, and a look at the next steps.
