PLANNING DESIGN CONSTRUC TION PhoTo by AndreA Keeney RBF Consulting Congratulates ACEC on 100 Years of Service to Civil Engineering in America and Salutes our Senior Vice President, Bill Green for his leadership as the President of ACEC California. Congressional Ties: ACEC’s aggressive advocacy efforts ensure that industry priorities receive a fair hearing, such as in this meeting with Sen. John Thune (R-SD) (left) and ACEC members Monty Miller of Sayre Associates in Sioux Falls and Daniel Eisenbraun of Eisenbraun Associates in Yankton to discuss industry issues. “It’s the only organization that emphasizes the business interests of our firms,” says Bill Howard, executive vice president at CDM in Cambridge, Mass., and past ACEC chairman (2004–2005). “The more you look at all the things that ACEC does, the more you appreciate the importance of the organization.” Ralph Peterson, chairman and CEO of CH2M HILL, says, “Our investment in membership and active participation in ACEC has been the best investment in our professional and business future that we’ve ever made.” Effective Government Advocacy www.RBF.com 65 Years of designing a sustainable future From its earliest days, the Council has been engaged in advocacy efforts—to revise building codes, to seek appointment of qualified engineers in public regulatory and advisory bodies, to oppose government agency efforts to compete with the private sector, to advance QBS and other regulatory measures, and to boost infrastructure funding. “Membership in ACEC allows us to deal with important business issues as an industry, rather than as an individual firm,” says Ken Graham, CEO of HNTB Corporation in Kansas City, Mo. “As an individual firm, your motives might be questioned, but as an industry, we are more compelling. Until you’ve seen that dynamic at work, you won’t believe the impact.” “As a western U.S. firm, we really value ACEC’s work with the federal government,” says David Kennedy, senior principal at Kennedy/Jenks Consultants in San Francisco. “The Council’s advocacy—on the funding of infrastructure or reform of the Fair Labor Standards Act—has been vital for us.” ACEC’s advocacy efforts are enhanced by its large federal political action committee—ACEC/PAC—which grew to more than $1 million in the 2007–2008 election cycle, putting it at the top of PACs nationwide (see chart at left).
