About the Post
The Society of American Military Engineers is the only nonprofit professional engineering education organization that actively promotes the advancement of both individual technical knowledge and the collective engineering capabilities of governments, the uniformed services and private industry.
Our goal is to unite public and private sector entities and individuals in the A/E/C fields so that we can prepare for and overcome natural and man made disasters, acts of terrorism and improve security at home and abroad.
The Kaiserslautern Post accomplishes this goal locally by supporting monthly luncheon meetings and other professional/social activities attended by members of local government, military, private industry, students and other interested parties. These meetings are announced via our e-mail distribution list and quarterly newsletter. We are supported by the national Society of American Military Engineers and publications such as The Military Engineer, which also promotes the interests and goals of our society and its members. Please peruse our website to discover the benefits of SAME Kaiserslautern Post membership.

Message from Post President – Ms. Yvonne Lee
I am incredibly excited and honored to address you today as the newly elected President of the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Kaiserslautern Post. This is a role I deeply value, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve this amazing community and our Society.
My primary goal for this year is to foster a stronger, more cohesive Post membership. I believe we can achieve this through a renewed focus on creating regular and engaging Post events and meetings. These gatherings will be designed to provide tangible benefits to every member, centered around three key areas:
- Industry Government Engagement (IGE): We will prioritize opportunities for meaningful dialogue and collaboration between industry and government partners. This includes facilitating networking events, and insightful presentations that foster a better understanding of each other’s needs and capabilities.
- Professional Development: We will strive to provide members with access to valuable professional development resources, including training sessions, guest speakers, and mentorship programs. Our aim is to empower our members to enhance their skills and advance their careers.
- Increased Young Professionals Involvement: The future of SAME lies within our Young Professionals (under 39-years-old). We will actively engage our younger members by creating opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and networking. We will solicit their input and ideas to ensure the Post remains relevant and thrives for years to come.
I truly believe by working together, we can make the SAME Kaiserslautern Post even better. Your input is invaluable, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts and suggestions with me or any member of our dedicated leadership team. We are here for YOU!
I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events. Let’s make this a fantastic year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Yvonne Lee, R.A., NCARB, M.SAME
