Ed Quesenberry, SE
Ed Quesenberry is Founding Principal of Equilibrium Engineers located in Beaverton, Oregon. Ed has over 35 years of experience in the structural engineering industry and over those years, he has found his involvement in his state SEA and NCSEA to be fundamental to his professional and personal growth. He has served as President of both the Structural Engineers Association of Oregon and NCSEA and is the current chair of the We SEE Task Group that is part of the NCSEA Communications Committee.
The mission of the NCSEA Communications Committee is two-fold: to promote and enhance the communications between NCSEA and its member SEAs and to elevate the perceived value of structural engineers through advocacy, public awareness and outreach initiatives. The committee has 3 task groups dedicated to distinct aspects of this mission; Collaboration & Support, Public Awareness & Outreach, and We SEE Above & Beyond. Currently, the Communications Committee is comprised of 24 practicing engineers from 17 different SEAs, and is always looking for new voices to add to the conversation and new perspectives to inform its progress.
