There's still time to volunteer to serve on an ACEC Ohio committee

With summer winding down and your calendar filling up, serving on an ACEC Ohio committee may not be high on your priority list.  But it should be.

Your participation on an ACEC Ohio committee will benefit you, your company and the engineering industry.  And in recognition of the demands on your schedule, every effort is made to make the very best use of your time.

Most ACEC Ohio committees will meet quarterly, but some will meet more often depending on the committee's workload.  Committee meetings may be held at the Council's office in Columbus, but oftentimes committees will meet via telephone conference call in order to economize on members' time and travel costs.
