Have you heard it said that if you give of your time to help others, you will get more in return? One of the ways you can help the profession of structural engineering is by getting involved in your local / state / national Structural Engineers Association. I have been involved in the Structural Engineers of Michigan for a number of years and have found it to be a very rewarding experience. I’ve also recently joined an NCSEA national committee. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to learn many things both professionally and personally as a result of getting involved. I realize time is very limited for most people, but I believe you would find many great rewards for volunteering a little time and you can help improve the profession of structural engineering!
As you volunteer your time to be involved in a Structural Engineer Association, you may also gain valuable networking contacts, and gain new knowledge that can help you contribute to your company.
For more information on the Structural Engineer Association for your state, you can go to http://www.ncsea.com/Members.aspx (towards the bottom of the page – and you can click on your state to get to their website). If you need any help in identifying who to contact in your state, please e-mail me at Brian.Quinn@FindYourEngineer.com.
