Membership Has Its Benefits
Updated: 5 days ago
In September we heard diverse perspectives from member firms, Caltrans, and ACEC Staff about what ACEC is doing for our industry and the value it brings to our members. If your firm is not a member and would like to learn more about membership, Membership Director, Justin McCarthy jmccarthy@acec-ca.org would be glad to answer your questions. For more about member benefits, visit: ACEC California Membership.
The submissions are in and now begin the anticipation for the 2027 Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) Banquet as members compete for the coveted Golden State Award. Save the date for the ACEC California Annual Conference and EEA Banquet on February 17-18, 2027. This year’s theme, “Magic in Motion: It’s an Engineered California After All” brings us back to the Disneyland Hotel for an event you don’t want to miss!
