The story of ACEC/PA members begins with their deeply held belief in the power of engineering to deliver infrastructure that drives quality of life and economic growth. Indeed, engineers bring infrastructure to life. ACEC/PA further believes that engineering fulfills the promise of infrastructure only if consulting firms are well positioned and prepared to serve.

That’s why ACEC/PA’s mission is to foster and advocate for member firms’ business interests. ACEC/PA aligns all its energy, resources, and activities to support this mission through advocacy, partnering and networking. ACEC/PA is the only association that provides advocacy specifically for consulting engineers. Consequently, ACEC/PA’s vision is to be the go-to association for advocacy specifically for engineering consulting firms and their partner organizations. While open to many forms of engineering consulting firms, ACEC/PA represents infrastructure consulting firms with a focus on transportation for public agencies.

ACEC/PA presents a strong, unified voice in state and local policy debates to help ensure that member firms can compete fairly in an increasingly aggressive global market. It is also the goal of ACEC/PA to increase awareness and educate the general public, prospective students, and political figures on the important role that engineers play in society; promote the importance of the engineering profession to the United States and global economy; and foster the education of future generations of engineering professionals.
