Since its founding in 1921, ACEC New York has served as a source of ideas, a sounding board and a professional resource for state and city leaders, as well as a fervent promoter of the profession. Our work involves advocating, education, providing networking opportunities and enhancing the image of the industry. The council weighs in on many important issues of our day, from infrastructure investment, efficient energy policy and alternative delivery systems to improving procurement practices.
