The American Council of Engineering Companies work each day in Washington to lobby lawmakers on industry priorities that touch your firm. Right now ACEC is working hard to convince Congress to:
- Fund our DOT, transit, water and airport clients to address revenue shortfalls resulting from the pandemic;
- Pass legislation to expand energy markets; and
- Act on priority tax issues to protect firm cash flow.
An even bigger agenda is taking shape for 2021, with both opportunities and challenges for our industry. With your help, ACEC/PAC has become an essential tool in ACEC’s advocacy arsenal. It helps to connect our members and your ACEC lobbying team with lawmakers on issues of critical importance to your firm and this industry.
In fact, many of ACEC’s major policy accomplishments over the years were made possible because of the relationships and profile built through ACEC/PAC, including:
- Expansion of Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS);
- Rules protecting engineering firm overhead in State DOT projects; and
- The 2017 tax law securing a new 20% tax deduction for S corps and other engineering passthrough firms.
ACEC/PAC is the industry’s tool for shaping the playing field for decisions that affect your firm and your markets. We need your help in reaching our 2020 PAC Goal and ask you to support the ACEC/PAC by purchasing sweepstake tickets for an all-inclusive Cocodrie Charter Fishing Excursion valued at $3,500.00
