ACEC PAC

ACEC PAC Contributions

To help fund the efforts of ACEC in Washington, D.C., please consider contributing to ACEC PAC , which funds advocating the interest of the consulting engineering business in D.C. The Washington State contribution to the PAC has repeatedly been one of the top contributions among ACEC Member Organizations. Thank you to our politically involved leaders and the fantastic efforts of our members for supporting this important endeavor.

It is critical that the engineering industry be involved in the business of politics, and ACEC PAC is the industry’s preeminent vehicle for political engagement. Governmental decisions on the issues that affect the engineering industry can have a decided impact on your business and the future success of our industry. It is critical we help to elect policy-makers who understand our concerns and who will be open-minded to our views.
