Federal Advocacy
Through the strength of its federation, ACEC promotes the business interests of the engineering industry to Congress, federal agencies and international organizations. The Council seeks passage of legislation and policies that create a favorable business climate in which the engineering industry can help America grow and improve the quality of life for its citizens. ACEC’s government advocacy program is focused on four principal public policy objectives: enhanced infrastructure funding to keep pace with America’s growth and aspirations; outsourcing of engineering services to harness private sector innovation, expertise, and cost-effectiveness; procurement reform to make sure that engineering services are procured on the basis of quality and value; and elimination of regulatory and tax barriers to the business of engineering. ACEC/Alabama’s leadership meets annually with Alabama’s Congressional Delegation to address key issues on a federal level.
