SEAOSD June Newsletter 
President's Report
As the school year comes to an end, so does our SEAOSD calendar year and my time as president. This week we end the year with a bang, hosting our SEE Awards – Structural Engineer Excellence awards at the downtown San Diego Public Library. For all of those that submitted projects, I am impressed by the amazing projects and talented local engineers making these projects come to life. For the rest of us (myself included), I would ask that you consider submitting next year as a way to show your colleagues all the challenges and successes we face.
As we wrap up the year, I would like to take the time to thank all of the dedicated volunteers on all of our committees and the SEAOSD Board that make our organization run. While there were many things I wished we could have accomplished this year, I am happy with all we did throughout the year. Being an all-volunteer group, sometimes it is challenging to put the time in to make these events happen, but in the end these technical and social happenings bring us together as an engineering community. If you were at events like one of the many YMF events, speed mentoring, golf tournament or Trivia Night, (and so many more) you know what I mean. Volunteers are what make us run, so thank you to all those that participated.
If there is something that we are doing right (or wrong) or if there is something else we should be doing let us know. We are here to serve our members, and without your input we can only make assumptions as to how best to serve our association.
I am looking forward to next year, big changes are coming to SEAOC and here in San Diego. Jermey Callister is taking over the reigns as SEAOSD President, so I know we are in good hands. We start in September with the SEAOC Convention being held here in San Diego at the Lowes Coronado. Having assisted in planning conventions in the past, I am very eager to see what our local convention committee has in store for all of us. I know you won’t want to miss this one. That’s just to get us started, so hopefully we will see you around.
It has been a pleasure to be a part of this organization. I look forward to continuing to participate on committees and seeing all that our organization can accomplish.
