OUR COMMITTEES
The Driving Force Behind Our Mission
ACEC-RI's foundation is built upon the collaborative efforts of its varied and highly productive committees and forums. These committees play vital roles in:
Overseeing the operations of ACEC-RI.
Establishing a robust professional network for knowledge exchange and business enhancement.
Championing equitable business practices within the engineering community.
Our committees typically convene virtually on a monthly or six-week basis. We invite employees of member firms to participate in committees that align with their interests and expertise.
