Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)
The SEI Board of Governors is in transition over the next few years to a smaller, more strategic Board. SEI Board members each serve a four-year term, except for officers and the ASCE appointed member. Per the SEI Bylaws, this year SEI is running an election for one At-large member and SEI President-Elect, terms effective October 1. The SEI Board of Governors encourages all SEI members to consider service at the highest level of the Institute, and through SEI Committee and Chapter efforts.

Under the umbrella of the Structural Engineering Institute, the Technical Community serves a vital role in bringing together various technical and standards committees within SEI to shape the future of structural engineering. The Technical Community — which combines the former Codes and Standards Activities Division (CSAD) with the Technical Activities Division (TAD) — was created to lend SEI members the space to contribute and collaborate on technical advancements and standards development, shaping engineering practice and addressing complex problems affecting the profession.
