What more can I say of our last meeting, other than it was incredible to see so many of the women of SEAONC come together and share stories about their careers, as well as challenges and triumphs they have encountered in their journeys.

It is hard to believe we are almost through winter and spring will soon be upon us. The last few months have left a chill in the air, though it didn’t put a damper on the members and students who attended our last association meeting. It was amazing to see everyone.

I was hoping that we would get the typical slow start to the year, but it feels like everything has jumped off with a bang! In my conversations with our fine membership, I have heard a full range of stories, with some saying they are busy, while others feeling a bit slower than they would like.

As I have said, it has truly been a year to remember. Before I get too far, I should begin with a heartful Happy New Year!! I, for one, am excited about what is to come, but also cautious that Structural Engineering sees both its ups and downs.

I would be remiss if I didn’t start with… Happy Holidays!!! I’m sure it will sound trite, but, honestly, the year has flown by and it feels like rush…rush…. rush. It is hard to believe that it has been over four months since we kicked off our SEAONC year and so much has happened.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of SOHA Engineers’ beloved founder and friend, Daniel Shapiro, who passed away of natural causes on October 22, 2023, at the age of 98. We will all miss Dan more than words can express.

Our Outreach Committee hosted another great AEC Week with Ignited this June! Seaonc and Ignited partnered with SmithGroup, HENSEL PHELPS & KPFF to host 10 Middle and High School teachers, primarily from underserved schools, complete with lunches and a variety of interactive presentations and activities.

To advance the practice of structural engineering, to build community among our members, and to inform the public about advancements in the structural engineering profession

“California continues to experience longer wildfire seasons as a direct result of Climate Change”, as stated by CAL FIRE’s 2022 Fire Season Outlook. The extended dryness and reduced precipitation have added to the moderate to extreme drought conditions and have become a source of fuel for wildland fire activity.

In the meeting prior to this one, it was discussed in the committee that structural engineers should strive to innovative and push the status quo. This meeting, which complimented the last, focused on innovative structures.

There is a play between discipline and curiosity. On July 22nd, 2022, the SEAONC Seismology Committee held its first meeting of a two-part series on exploring engineering creativity. This first meeting focused on historical structural analysis methods.
