Young Members Group

The SEABC Young Members Group (YMG) provides young structural engineers with the opportunity to learn, get involved, meet others in their field, and have fun.  “Young Members” includes young Structural Engineers, Structural Engineers who are new to the field, and those seeking professional registration assistance.

There are five basic areas of focus of the YMG which are reflected in the events that we organize:

1. Professional Development
2. Socializing and Networking
3. Professional Registration Assistance
4. Communication
5. Community Outreach

Mission Statement

“The SEABC Young Members Group serves to promote the interests of Young Structural Engineers in the Province of British Columbia by developing and executing initiatives in the areas of Networking, Professional Development, Registration Assistance, Communication, and Outreach”
