"ACEC California, formerly known as CELSOC, is the Voice of the Engineering and Land Surveying Community representing the business and professional interests. My experience in being a member of an association like ACEC California is that it provides its members with national and statewide representation on legislative, business, environmental, and technical advocacy. ACEC California represents the full spectrum of large to small firms by having a voice in a sometime overwhelming and ever-changing legislative environment. I have been involved with the organization for over 25 years, and it has provided a forum for me to interact with the brightest and best in our profession."
