SEAOC Corporate and Firm Sponsorship Opportunities

This year, SEAOC’s sponsorship opportunities are built around two core pillars that strengthen the structural engineering profession:

Professional Connection through the SEAOC Convention High-visibility support for events, experiences, and touchpoints that bring the profession together.
Workforce Development through the SEAOC Pathways Program Mission-driven support for students and early-career engineers statewide.

Sponsors may choose to support either pillar or both through a single sponsorship commitment. SEAOC will work with each sponsor to align recognition and benefits with their areas of impact.
