ACEC Legislative Visit Day: February 4, 2014 – Save the Date!


Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 4th for ACEC-California’s 2014 Legislative Visit Day. This is our opportunity to meet with state legislators (Assembly and Senate) and promote our consulting engineer and land surveying agenda. Most of you already know what that agenda is: i.e. improved indemnification, infrastructure funding, contracting out, QBS, alternative delivery, etc., but it is this day when our members from all over California converge on the Capitol and talk with one voice. Whether you are awed or dismayed by the political process in California, you will not be disappointed in this event. I have personally attended many and believe it is the single most important thing we can do for our industry as professionals and business leaders. In most cases the legislators are glad to hear our talking points and appreciate our effort. But not always.


We also recognize the ACEC “Legislator of the Year” during a luncheon in their honor. This year’s winner is Assembly Member Connie Conway from the 26th Assembly District (Visalia). The luncheon is held at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento.

In conjunction with Legislative Visit Day, ACEC also schedules a Board of Directors Meeting and the Engineering Excellence Awards banquet, which are held on Monday, February 3rd (also at the Hyatt Regency). A flyer is included with this newsletter.


So, don’t be a spectator and wait for others to improve the business climate in California, be an advocate for change and attend ACEC Legislative Visit Day in February!
