The EERI Board of Directors has established a new Diamond level of Subscribing Membership with annual dues of $25,000. Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), is the first and only member at that level.  For the last three years, CSI has made the largest corporate monetary contribution to EERI and has maintained the highest membership level. CSI provides financial support for the EERI Student Leadership Council’s annual retreat and the Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition, and last year generously purchased the largest ad for the national conference program.

Recently the Board of Directors recognized CSI and its president and founder, Ashraf Habibullah, with an award for the firm’s sustained, generous support of EERI through donations and sponsorship of student activities. In accepting the award, Habibullah said, “CSI believes deeply in EERI and its work. We are proud to support an organization that has made such vast contributions to the field of earthquake engineering, and we hope that our support inspires other private companies to give at a similar level. EERI needs all of us to join forces and give generously.” EERI benefits from the generous support from many individuals, companies, and agencies to carry out its activities.

Many members give their time tirelessly to help EERI. The value of these contributions of time and knowledge is incalculable. However, the reality is that the Institute also needs funding for its programs. EERI benefits greatly from having more than 50 Subscribing Members. Besides the new Diamond category, Subscribing Member contribution levels are $15,000 for Platinum, $10,000 for Gold, $5,000 for Silver, and $3,000 for Bronze.
