The committee is structured similarly to other ACEC-agency liaison committees: an executive committee provides strategic focus, supported by task-oriented subcommittees that will form and sunset as needed. The committee consists of decision-makers from City agencies that have approximately $1 million or more in consultant contracts annually and principals from a cross section of ACEC member firms.
