We’re thrilled to welcome Karyn Beebe, PE, LEED AP, to the SEAOSC Board of Directors! Karyn brings over decades of industry experience and a deep commitment to building collaboration across the profession. As a Government Relations Regional Manager for the International Code Council, she supports adoption and implementation of building codes throughout California, Nevada, Guam, American Samoa, and the Mariana Islands.

A licensed professional engineer and a LEED Accredited Professional with forensic investigation expetise, Karyn previously served as Past President of ICC’s San Diego Chapter and was a longtime leader in APA – The Engineered Wood Association, where she worked on strategic partnership development and product support across the Western U.S.

“I’ve been a member of SEAOC since the beginning of my career—25 years ago!” Karyn shares. “I’ve worked with all of our member organizations (Southern California, San Diego, Central California, Northern California) around the state as a member, trainer, committee chair and I’ve stayed active to stay abreast of the issues most important to our profession and collaborate with colleagues through committee work, meetings, and our convention.”

Karyn’s path into structural engineering was shaped by both passion and family. “I grew up with a love of architecture and aptitude for math,” she says. “My father and two uncles graduated from Purdue University and pursued electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering. So, it felt natural for me to follow suit in the field of structural engineering.”

We’re honored to have Karyn’s leadership and perspective on the Board. Welcome, Karyn!
