Appendix A: ATC 110 Management Plan Program Manager: Applied Technology Council (ATC) ATC is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation established in 1973 through the efforts of the Structural Engineers Association of California. ATC's mission is to develop and promote state-of-the-art, user-friendly engineering resources and applications for use in mitigating the effects of natural and other hazards on the built environment. ATC also identifies and encourages needed research and develops consensus opinions on structural-engineering issues in a nonproprietary format. ATC thereby fulfills a unique role in funded information transfer. ATC is guided by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives appointed by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations, the Structural Engineers Association of California, the Western Council of Structural Engineers Associations, and four at-large representatives who are focused on the practice of structural engineering. Project management and administration are carried out by a full-time executive director and support staff. Project work is conducted by a wide range of highly qualified consulting professionals, thus incorporating the experience of many individuals from academia, research, and professional practice who would not be available from any single organization. Funding for ATC projects is obtained from government entities and from the private sector in the form of tax-deductible contributions. Appendix A 1

ATC Project Manager: Jon A. Heintz, Registered Structural and Civil Engineer. ATC Director of Projects At ATC, Jon is responsible for project management, oversight, and quality control on the development of ATC products and publications. Jon came to ATC after more than 16 years as a structural-design and consulting engineer in professional practice. A licensed civil/structural engineer in California and Alaska, his experience includes work on advanced seismic analysis, evaluation, and strengthening projects, and collaboration with university researchers in analytical studies. He is actively involved in the development of guidelines, codes, and standards for existing buildings, and has participated in post-disaster damage investigations after the 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge, and 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquakes, as well as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. Professional affiliations include the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, the Structural Engineers Association of California, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)/Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), and the American Institute of Steel Construction. He has served on or led a number of committees, including the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) Technical Integration Committee, Structural Engineers Association of Northern California Existing Buildings Committee, and the ASCE/SEI Seismic Rehabilitation Standards Committee. Project Technical Committee Co-chairs: Kelly Cobeen, S.E. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., San Francisco, California Ms. Cobeen has a special interest in seismic resistance of light-frame construction, applicable to new construction and seismic upgrade of existing buildings. Ms. Cobeen has been involved in numerous code-development, research, and educational activities. Code development activities include involvement in the NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings, as well as International Building Code and International Residential Code development. Colin P. Blaney, S.E. Executive Principal, ZFA Structural Engineers, San Francisco, California Colin has more than 25 years of experience in structural engineering and design of community colleges and healthcare and correctional facilities in California and Washington. Colin is engaged with the Structural Engineer s Association of Northern California, in technical and leadership roles. He has an active role in developing and reviewing state Appendix A 3
and national codes, and has published numerous technical papers for SEAOC and EERI. He has chaired SEAONC s existing building committee and is currently serves on the board as Past-President. He is a SEAONC Fellow.
