  Speaker: Timothy D. Lynch, PE, Chief Engineer – NYC Dept. of Buildings, 280 Broadway, New York, NY 10007

  For this special event, there will be brief Introductions regarding the SEAoNY-SEER Committee, and the ASCE-TCFE,  by Structural Engineers - Alberto Marquez, PE, of the Hatfield Group, and Paul Anthony Roppa, PE, Chairman of the Forensic Engineering Technical Group of the ASCE Metropolitan Section, and Director of Bid Process Management, Infrastructure Division, at the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC).

  Synopsis: We will discuss New York City’s training programs for handling rapid and detailed structural evaluations for large scale emergency responses for hurricanes and earthquakes. New York City follows the National Incident Command System (NICS), and has our own version of this program called Citywide Incident Management System (CIMS). Also to be discussed will be the radical departure of paper based reporting to an ArcGIS platform based around smart phone apps. These allow for extremely quick building evaluations and enhanced photo imaging, where the survey data is uploaded in real time to satellite maps and dashboards available to multiple agencies local and remote to the event. Examples will be provided of recent earthquake and hurricane deployment by New York City Department of Buildings and our other City colleagues to those areas in need of rapid and detailed structural surveys down in Puerto Rico.

  Speaker Biography: Timothy D. Lynch, PE is a New York State Licensed Professional Engineer and certified Site Safety Manager with over 30 years of structural engineering design and construction experience and is the Chief Engineer for the NYC Department of Buildings, where he has served in a number of senior engineering titles since 2005, and leads the Enforcement Bureau for the Buildings Department. Lynch coordinates high level engineering reviews for complex construction projects; performs site visits on structurally complex unsafe buildings and assessment and stabilization efforts on complex building collapses due to fires, explosions, weather events, and earthquakes, etc. He works on existing building code and construction techniques, 19^th and 20^th Century and prior code research; code development; data analysis on 1.1M building stock to determine risk, structural stability and predictive analysis. Performs training and outreach to the public, Fire Dept., Office of Emergency Management (OEM), technical and inspectorial staff; performs legal work such as depositions, fact and expert witnesses; and writes Commissioner’s Orders and Reports for NYCDOB.

  This engineering lecture event has been submitted for review and approval of 1.5 PDH’s.

  SEAoNY March Seminar

   ElevateHer: A Platform for All

  March 17, 2020

  6:15 PM - 8:00 PM

  Center for Architecture | 536 LaGuardia Place, New York, NY 10012

  
  

  Speaker: Jamie Claire Kiser, Managing Principal, Zweig Group

  Event Description:

  According to Zweig Group’s 2019 Principals, Partners, and Owners Survey of AEC Firms, 90% of AEC firm principals are Caucasian, 84% are male, and just 58% of male principals feel that there is a problem with lack of diversity across age, race, and gender among principals in this industry. Barely over half. This crushing data, though, presents a tremendous opportunity to work together as an industry to educate instead of alienate. In response, Zweig Group formed the ElevateHer platform, culminating in the launch of the first-ever national cohort-style program in January 2020.

  A recent industry-agnostic study of performance review feedback found that 66% of women received negative feedback on their personal style, such as "you can sometimes be abrasive," compared to 1% of men. While women are entering engineering programs at record rates, the data is clear that we - as a profession - must change, else we will repeat the cycle of recruiting the next generation of women and retaining them until they feel the exhaustion that causes the gaps in diversity at the top of org charts that is the reality for our industry today.

  There is a real opportunity to build teams with the best and brightest talent if we can come together to create cultures that foster all careers. The role of gender and what it means to be a woman in an AEC firm is a complex, changing, and highly charged topic. And it's one that has to be discussed as a question of survival for structural engineering firms.
