OSEA was well represented at the NCSEA Leadership Retreat last week in national board member meetings, national committee meetings, and local chapter leadership development meetings. We are excited to try to bring some of the things we learned back to Oklahoma!

Hey OSEA Young Members: there is still time to apply for the NCSEA Young Member Scholarships! You should consider applying - we have had winners from Oklahoma and you could be next! The Summit is a wonderful experience. ------- From NCSEA: For over a decade, NCSEA has provided scholarship opportunities for Young Members and Young Member Groups to cover expenses associated with attending the Structural Engineering Summit. First-time Young Member scholarship recipients receive complimentary Summit registration as well as a travel stipend of $1,000 to use toward transportation and hotel costs. Previous Young Member scholarship recipients will receive complimentary registration for the Summit. As part of our commitment to nurturing young talent, NCSEA will also continue to offer the Young Member Group of the Year award. This accolade recognizes an exceptional Young Member Group (YMG) affiliated with one of the Structural Engineering Associations (SEAs). Finalists will receive complimentary registration and a $1,000 travel stipend to send a representative to the Structural Engineering Summit. The winning Young Member Group will be announced at the Summit and will receive an additional $2,500 for their Young Member Group to use for future activities. Don't just imagine yourself as one of the fortunate scholarship recipients, but make it a reality by submitting an application by Monday, June 24th. We encourage all who qualify to learn more and submit applications HERE. https://lnkd.in/gkxc5uwF Travel stipends for the 2024 Young Member Summit Scholarships are generously sponsored by Computers & Structures, Inc.

Thank you Royce Floyd, P.E., S.E. for talking with us about rapid setting and expansive cement and its use in our projects! Very interesting to see how it can be used in our projects.

It was great to have Sean Morris from Wallace Design Collective presenting the best practices for specifying an ICC-500 compliant precast concrete storm shelter. Lots of good info!
