Engineering Inc. - January/February 2009 - (Page 2) FROM ACEC TO YOU ENGINEERINGINC. THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING COMPANIES AMERICAN COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING COMPANIES CHAIRMAN John F. Hennessy III David A. Raymond Mary Ann Emely Steven Hall Jeffrey L. Beard Alan D. Crockett Andrea Keeney akeeney@acec.org 202-682-4347 ACEC Celebrates 100 Years Of Industry Service In the spring of 1909, a small group of consulting engineers met in a brownstone in New York City to create the American Institute of Consulting Engineers (AICE)—the forerunner of ACEC. One hundred years later, the original mission of AICE remains the same: to protect and enhance the business interests of engineers engaged in private practice. Throughout 2009, the Council will celebrate its centennial, and the March/ April issue of Engineering Inc. will commemorate the Council’s history and Member Firm achievements. The Council has earned a reputation on Capitol Hill and in the White House for strong and reliable industry advocacy. That is why, for example, President-elect Barack Obama gave us an exclusive interview just prior to the November elections. (See page 10.) The Council has also been stalwart in bringing the latest business insights to our members. This issue highlights one of the most pressing concerns facing the new administration and our industry—the cost of health care for employers and individuals. (See page 16.) Also included herein is the ACEC Institute for Business Management spring catalog. As you can see, even in our 100th year, the Council is getting not only older, but better.
