WiSE  History

Women in Structural Engineering (WiSE) is a network of women structural engineers around the country (www.womeninstructuralengineering.org). Founded in 2018, WiSE Philadelphia complements its Member Organization (MO), Delaware Valley Association of Structural Engineers (DVASE), and provides a community for female structural engineers to unite and be supported.

WiSE Philadelphia is led by a dedicated group of women in the Philadelphia region. We are always looking for people who would like to get involved. Monthly, the WiSE Board “meets” either via conference call or in person to discuss group initiatives and upcoming events. If you would like to participate in this monthly call, please reach out to us at WiSEngr.Philly@gmail.com.

The Founding Board Members of WiSE Philadelphia are Melanie K. Rodbart, Allison Lukachik, Jacqueline Haas, Angela Heinze, Denise Richards, and Anna Bono.
