State Advocacy
ACEC Alabama's Legislative Program
One of ACEC/Alabama’s critical functions is to act as an advocate, on behalf of its Member Firms, before local and state governments. Through a variety of approaches — direct lobbying, partnering with industry allies, committee work in meetings — ACEC/Alabama strives continuously to support legislation of particular importance to the professional A/E consulting community. ACEC Leadership meets regularly with its team of lobbyists to:
- Monitor regulatory and legislative activities impacting our interests.
- Enlist the cooperation of industry allies in pursuing matters of mutual interests.
- Writing and publishing articles and reports to communicate the issues.
- Studying state/national legislation, informing and advising membership, and recommending appropriate action.
- Coordinating and implementing programs to support and promote and increase financial participation of the Alabama Engineers Political Action Committee.
- Coordination, promotion, and engagement of Engineers In the Capital City Day to meet with members of the Alabama State Legislature.
