The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) California region held it's annual Conference this week in Sacramento, combining the Conference, Engineering Excellence Awards Banquet and Legislative Visit Day into one issues-packed week.
The Conference, with the theme Back in Black: Paving the Road to Economic Recovery kicked off on Monday morning with the General Session breakfast and an inspiring keynote speech by U. S. Senate Candidate Carly Fiorina. At lunch we were given an overview of the California Forward's principles and plans for pursuing nonpartisan government reform by Jim Mayer, the Executive Director of California Forward.
The roundtable discussion, breakout sessions and panel topics included GIS, Water, Transportation, Healthcare, Labor Law and Marketing.
The hallmark of the Conference is always the outstanding networking opportunities, timely topics and interesting speakers. The staff of ACEC, led by Jenny Devine, routinely does an exceptional job organizing and putting on these events.
Converse Consultants is an active member of ACEC CA and several of our senior staff and principals are members of various committees.
