Welcome to the New York State Society of Professional Engineers Long Island Chapter website. The NYSSPE L.I. Chapter is an organization of local engineers who seek to protect, improve, and promote the engineering profession on Long Island. The Long Island Chapter was formed in 2016 when the previous Suffolk and Nassau Chapters merged to improve service to our members. The L.I. Chapter hosts many continuing education seminars and networking and social events. The Chapter Board of Directors holds monthly meetings and we welcome members to attend. We strongly encourage and welcome participation of our members in Chapter activities. For more information about becoming a member and participating in our organization, please contact James Riordan at president@NYSSPE-LI.org.
