EERI-SEAOSC

The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is the leading non-profit membership organization that connects those dedicated to reducing earthquake risk. Our multidisciplinary members include engineers, geoscientists, social scientists, architects, planners, emergency managers, academics, students, and other like-minded professionals. EERI has been bringing people and disciplines together since 1948.

Mission Statement
The objective of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is to reduce earthquake risk by (1) advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering, (2) improving understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political, and cultural environment, and (3) advocating comprehensive and realistic measures for reducing the harmful effects of earthquakes.

Vision and Role
EERI’s Vision: A world in which potential earthquake losses are widely understood and for which prudent steps have been taken to address those risks.

EERI’s Role: EERI is a leader in earthquake investigations and in the dissemination of earthquake risk reduction information both in the US and globally in cooperation with its international partners.

The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) is one of the oldest structural engineering associations in the world, and is one of four regional structural engineering associations of the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). SEAOSC members are civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers who regularly engaged in the practice of structural engineering. SEAOSC also draws membership from related fields involved in design and construction, including academe (professors and students), contractors, architects, and representatives from industry and government. 

Vision

The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) is the premier organization to which local Structural Engineers belong. The organization serves its members and the Profession of Structural Engineering by fostering and promoting the contributions of structural engineers to society.

Mission

The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California will empower its members and advance

the Structural Engineering Profession in service to our community.

The Association fulfills this mission through:

• Technical Resources - The Association will develop and make available state-of-the-art technical resources that influence policy and educate engineers

• Community Engagement - The Association will promote the role and value of structural
  engineering and inspire communities to action

• Professional Development - The Association will provide the resources and opportunities
  structural engineers need to be leaders in their communities

• Policy Advocacy - The Association will influence and advance policy that increases the value of the built environment and the structural engineering profession
