The Sierra Chapter Board is excited to announce our Fourth Annual Engineering Excellence Awards Program. This program is not to be confused with the statewide competition, but instead a Sierra chapter event. We aim to promote the great work that our member firms are doing in our region. Our goal is to recognize deserving accomplishments and highlight these successes to clients and other member firms. Projects must include a member firm to have been completed between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Nomination forms are available on the Chapter website (www.acec-ca-sierra.org) with applications due July 23rd. Winners will be announced August 10th and will be awarded at out Annual EEA Awards Dinner September 19th. This is a great way to showcase the great work your firm has done this past year, so submit your projects!
