Becoming an SEI Chapter

SEI encourages local Structural Technical Groups (STGs) to increase their affiliation to SEI by becoming local Chapters of SEI.

SEI wants to ensure that your Section/Branch is adequately served by our Institute. Sections or Branches that do not have a local SEI Chapter are encouraged to gather interested individuals to form one and name a local SEI member to communicate with us about ways we can better serve local needs and strengthen the activities of your Section /Branch.

Some of the benefits of becoming an SEI Chapter include:
• Use of SEI name and branding
• Chapter announcements published on SEI web site and in SEI Update
• One discounted ASCE webinar sponsored by the SEI Endowment Fund
• Funding to attend annual local Chairs meeting to learn about new SEI initiatives, share insights and best practices, etc.
• SEI outreach supplies

To become an SEI Chapter:

  1. Request permission from the local Section or Branch to convert the Structural Technical Group as an SEI Chapter.
  2. Complete the Sample MOU authorizing creation of an SEI Chapter, and send to SEI of ASCE, 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Reston, VA 20191 for approval.
  3. Bylaws changes will be handled by ASCE.


    For additional information, please contact sei@asce.org
