NCSEA Racial Equity Task Force

| ongoing

In our sincere efforts to improve the AEC profession for inclusion, equity, and engagement, the SE3 Committee produced a Commitment to Action to elicit our fight for racial justice in our communities. You can read the statement here.

Excerpt:

As a volunteer organization composed of practicing structural engineers, we don’t profess to have all the answers. We do, however, have the collective experience of many who have fought for change within the AEC industry. We are a group of passionate individuals dedicated to a better future for our profession. The SE3 Committee stands committed to justice and equality for all through collective, sustained actions. If you are passionate about this too, please join us in this call to action for a more inclusive, fair, and equitable future.
