Dinner meetings are held on the first
Tuesday of every month at the Cliff Dwellers Club in

projects related to structural engineering. Two months
out of the year, our dinner meetings are replaced with
the Structural Engineers Foundation Lecture. Dinner
meetings are not held during the summer months of June,
July, and August. See above for information on
the next dinner meeting. |

Seminars/Workshops |

continuing

throughout the
Chicagoland area. To see what is coming up next, please view Upcoming Events on the homepage

make it into Chicagoland for our half-day seminars. Via your own phone and computer, you can
"attend" the seminars and receive your CE credits. Contact us if you are interested. |

kitchens, elderly and day care centers. |
