SAME is a nonprofit professional engineer association, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with chapters (called Posts) worldwide.

Founded in 1920 to engage military and Federal government engineers with those from the private sector for the purpose of improving the engineering potential of the United States, the Society today has nearly 27,000 members from industry, the military, Government organizations, and academia.

SAME brings together professional engineers and those in engineering-related fields:

* To improve and increase the engineering capabilities of the nation;

* To exchange and advance the knowledge of engineering technologies, applications, and practices.

The Savannah Post is centered around the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Currently the Post has approximately 262 individual members, as well as approximately 48 Sustaining (corporate) members, many of which are national or regional engineering firms.

The Savannah Post usually holds their monthly luncheons on the third Monday of the month. In November, the Post sponsors the Savannah District Annual Program Review, during which the District's program and contracting opportunities for the upcoming year are presented.
