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 Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (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.
Our Post’s Vision is to create lasting impact at the local level by promoting technical collaboration, advocating small business growth, and developing leaders. We will strengthen industry-government engagement through regular events with participation from the A/E/C profession and a combination of federal, state, and local agency participation, and development of joint strategies for local community resilience. Support partnership with servicemembers and veterans, and sponsor Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education.
The San Francisco Metro 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 San Francisco Post membership.
