Rebecca Lubrano is a Senior Project Manager with Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH). Rebecca got her Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics and her Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering, both from Cornell University. At SGH, Rebecca gets to work on a variety of project types, including sculptures, historic renovations, and new building designs. The diversity of these project types has exposed Rebecca to a range of material design experiences, from more typical concrete, steel, wood, and masonry to less typical materials such as structural stone, glass, and carbon fiber. When looking for a home in 2012, Rebecca and her husband fell in love with the state of New Hampshire. They soon bought a house on 30 acres of land in Goffstown, where they still reside with their three children, Zeke, Micah, and Leah.

Committees
Code Advisory Committee
NH Engineer/ Young Engineer Awards Committee
Professional Development Committee
Public Relation Committee
The goal of the Public Relations Committee is to be the voice of the structural engineering profession in New Hampshire, to communicate SENH’s current activities, and to promote involvement in activities of our professional organization to our membership and the public. The Committee accomplishes these initiatives through the SENH newsletter, maintaining social media accounts, publishing letters to state boards and governing bodies, and responding to Media requests. In addition, the Public Relations Committee oversees SENH’s annual structural engineering scholarship program for college students.
Structural Engineering Excellence Awards Committee
Structural Engineering Licensure Committee
The goal of this committee is to investigate the current licensure process used by the New Hampshire Board of Professional Engineers; to investigate the current structural engineering licensure process used in other states; to research if separate structural engineering licensure should be pursued in New Hampshire; and to make a licensure recommendation to the SENH Board of Directors and advise the New Hampshire Board of Professional Engineers.
Membership Committee
- Add members, particularly from firms not currently represented,
- Increase attendance at all SENH meetings and sponsored events,
- Connect with membership to understand their perspective and better their experience,
- Increase committee membership, and
- Elevate committee members to leadership roles such as committee chairs and Board members/officers.
The younger member group strives to connect young individuals working in structural engineering related fields to encourage networking, exchange of ideas, learning, and professional development opportunities. This group offers social activities, meetings, and volunteer opportunities to help accomplish this goal. Being a member of this group is particularly valuable to those seeking colleagues who may hold similar positions or have similar career circumstances where collaboration may be helpful (i.e. studying for the PE Exam).
NCSEA
NCSEA unifies local structural engineering associations, or Member Organizations (MO’s), at the national level. NCSEA provides a unified voice for structural engineers in the architecture, engineering, and construction community. NCSEA, in partnership with its Member Organizations (MOs), supports practicing structural engineers to be highly qualified professionals and successful leaders.
SENH Appointments
Joint Committee of N.H. Engineering Societies
The goal of this committee is to unite all engineers in the state of New Hampshire. It strives to make licensure as a professional engineer more meaningful and to advance the professional, social, and economic interests of professional engineers. This committee is organized by the New Hampshire chapter of the National Society of Professional Engineers and an appointed SENH member serves on this committee to represent the structural engineering profession.
