“The PAC sends a message to the decision-makers in Washington regarding the broad support of an association’s membership for their legislative agenda, and whether they take it seriously or not,” says past ACEC Chairman Steve Goddard (2001–2002), who was executive vice president of HNTB Corporation. Business Practice Resources As ACEC membership has grown, so has its business practice resources, contract documents, CEO Roundtables and a range of other practical activities. “I believe education in business management is one of the areas where we have seen the greatest development in the Coun- cil,” says past Chairman Arnold Windman (1985–1986), who was president of Syska & Hennessy, and who played a pivotal role in the creation of ACEC’s landmark educational seminar The Business of Design Consulting. ACEC’s educational program also includes the highly respected Senior Executives Institute (SEI). “The future of our industry not only depends on engineers with technical expertise, but also those who are skilled in leadership and public policy,” says past ACEC Chairman Ed Mulcahy (2005–2006), a principal at TranSystems in Kansas City. “This is where SEI becomes such a valuable benefit.” In 2003, ACEC merged all of its educational programs into an Institute for Business Management, designed to provide a single, comprehensive resource base. “Our firm has become successful in large measure based on things we learned from ACEC,” says Chris Poland, CEO of Degenkolb Engineers in San Francisco, adding: “The CEO Roundtables and other educational programs have allowed us to grow exponentially over the past 20 years. That’s a real success story.” James Poirot, the former CH2M HILL chairman and CEO, who served as ACEC chairman from 1989–1990, is a “big advocate” of ACEC’s Peer Review Program, launched in 1984 to allow members to learn effective business practices from each other.
