We invite you to join the Structural Engineers Association of Massachusetts (SEAMASS), a non-profit organization established to pursue common interests of practicing structural engineers and others sharing an interest in the activities of structural engineers.

Meetings are held throughout the year, typically from September through June, at various locations throughout the Boston area. Each meeting provides an opportunity to hear a guest speaker or presentation on a relevant topic as well as reports on other member activities and issues of interest to our profession. We also sponsor half and full day technical seminars at reduced rates as a service to our membership.
