A little Alabama representation in San Francisco! 🌉

SEAoAL members Patrick Plourde and Hal Cain joined fellow structural engineers at last week’s National Council of Structural Engineers Associations Structural Engineering Summit, including time at the NCSEA Expo.

We love seeing our members show up and be part of the conversations shaping our profession. Thanks for representing SEAoAL! 👏

When you love steel structures, one trip across the Golden Gate Bridge just isn’t enough! 🚴‍♀️

Emily Dunham, 2026 SEAoAL President, joined Rhea Williams, Executive Director, for a ride across this iconic landmark. And Emily was so excited about the incredible steel structure that she had to bike it TWICE!

Just look at that smile! We love seeing the passion for structural engineering come to life in moments like these. 🌉
