Advocacy

The future of engineering is significantly affected by decisions made by elected officials. State and federal laws and regulations have a tremendous impact on day-to-day operations. 

State Advocacy

Our mission is to elevate the engineering profession through effective advocacy. We promote legislative proposals that improve the business climate for engineering companies and the quality of life for all Wisconsin residents and oppose legislation that would burden the industry or harm the public. Members play a critical role in these efforts. Under the ACEC WI umbrella, the voice of the engineering profession is amplified.

A goal of issue-based advocacy is to educate and inform legislators and decision-makers about the engineering profession. Another is to advocate in support of policies that are beneficial to the industry.
