ACEC California Joins ACEC Research Institute Founder Circle with Major Donation

The ACEC Research Institute today announced a major donation from ACEC California, a state member organization within the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) federation. The contribution joins a growing list of donations to the Institute.

"ACEC California's donation is critically important to ensuring the Institute can continue to deliver the research necessary to guide and elevate the engineering industry," said Michael J. Carragher, PE, chair of the ACEC Research Institute and chair and CEO of VHB.

The ACEC Research Institute is an independent nonprofit with an emphasis on original data including economic insights that capture the contributions of the engineering industry, measure engineering executives' perceptions of the business and political climate with the Business Sentiment Report, and provide data-driven forecasting of how engineering firms will evolve in the future.

ACEC California Executive Director Brad Diede believes it is important to support the mission of the Institute. "Our members recognize the Institute's vital role in improving the engineering industry through timely forecasts and trend analysis while also identifying the positive impact engineering has on communities. This information from the Institute also provides useful data to assist with advancing policy that is important to our industry."

The ACEC Research Institute's data is often cited by the media and is available on the Bloomberg Terminal. Its sought-after experts are also frequent contributors to industry podcasts.
