Geoff Bomba and Lindsey Maclise, 2012 Rising Stars

We knew it was true, but now we have confirmation. Lindsey Maclise, SE and Geoff Bomba, SE were each recognized as a “2012 Rising Star in Structural Engineering.”

The Rising Stars in Structural Engineering Award is a program run by Zweig White’s Structural Engineer magazine which recognizes structural engineers 40 years old or younger working in the United States who have shown exceptional technical capability, leadership ability, effective teaching or research, and/or public service benefiting the structural engineering profession, their employers, project owners, and/or society.

Only 15 structural engineers were selected from nominees nationwide, so we feel truly special to have two rising stars here at Forell | Elsesser!

All of the Rising Stars will be featured in an article in the March 2012 issue of Structural Engineer.
