Your PAC Dollars at work, ACEC Ohio hosts Legislative Leadership Dinners

Over the past month, ACEC Ohio has hosted dinners with both the Ohio House of Representatives Leadership and the Ohio Senate Leadership to discuss our key legislative issues. These dinners are attended by ACEC Ohio members and allow us to educate and inform our elected representatives about who we are, what we do and what we believe. While sitting down for dinner, we have a casual, open discussion which has been extremely beneficial to ACEC Ohio as statehouse leaders now seek our opinion on issues impacting the business of engineering consulting.

These dinners highlight the need to develop and maintain a strong ACEC Ohio political action committee (PAC), but our advocacy efforts do not stop here. We continue to push for key issues at a National level through the ACEC National PAC. We are at 60% of our PAC fundraising goals this year and would like to end the year strong. Please consider giving a voluntary contribution to both the ACEC Ohio PAC and the ACEC National PAC today. Forms to both may be found on our PAC webpage.

Any size donation is appreciated and put to good use as we continue to advocate at the state level for indemnification contract language reform, infrastructure funding and opposing the extension of the state sales tax on professional services. At a National level, ACEC has secured passage of a five-year transportation funding bill and helped enact Corps of Engineers funding authorization bill (WRRDA)—just a few among many accomplishments and priorities.
