I believe ACEC does a fantastic job in representing the industry both from the Government perspective as well as the consultant and construction community. While we are all in the same industry, there are often conflicts and competing agendas and interests. ACEC Illinois has done an incredible job in balancing these agendas in its role as an Industry Association and advocating in an ethical, thoughtful and professional manner for all parties to help our industry grow. In the end, our ultimate end user, the taxpayers and residents of our state are better served as a result of this collaboration.
