The business of engineering is exceptionally challenging and that's why ACEC exists. It's the only organization dedicated to serving the unique needs of engineering companies.

No other professional society or trade association is totally focused on improving the business climate for engineering companies.

The value delivered by ACEC Ohio is best measured by the fact that more than 5,000 of the country's most successful and recognized engineering firms – large and small – are members of the Council.
