A message from Donna L. Friis, P.E., F.S, M.ASCE
SEI created the SEI Fellow grade of membership this year, and is looking for accomplished SEI members to advance to the grade of SEI Fellow. I am focusing my efforts on encouraging the best and brightest technical leaders to apply. Please visit the SEI Fellow page to review benefits, requirements, and to apply online as I believe you would make a great candidate. Or encourage a colleague to apply, and nominate or serve as a reference for them. I would be honored to help you champion our members to become SEI Fellows - let me know how I may assist.
SEI Chapters: One of the benefits of being an SEI Chapter is the ability to nominate an applicant for SEI Fellow. Please consider nominating someone you think is missing from the list of SEI Fellows!2012 Structures Congress Young Professional Scholarship Available
