​The Community Involvement Committee takes on one or two projects per year to assist a local non-profit by providing labor and/or materials for a project that will enhance their program or benefit those served. This year, the Committee is working with Safe In Austin, a judgment-free space for children and animals that come from abuse or have special needs.

​Following a week of temperatures in the 80s, ACEA members showed up at Star Ranch Golf Club on July 29th for the Summer Classic Golf Tournament. This began a week of increasingly hot weather, but our golfers teams would not be distracted from reaching the top of the leaderboard.

​One Habit That Guarantees Enhanced Performance
By Casey Moore, The Productivity Coach

Do you want to accomplish more in less time? I do. Since sixth grade, “better, faster, smarter” has been my motto. I have studied, practiced and developed ways to improve personal performance. More than 20 years ago, I turned my fascination into a career and since then I’ve helped hundreds of people function more effectively at work. Still, I keep looking for ways to work with greater ease. 

​ACEA members cast their vote in the election for the open seats on the board for 2024 – 2025. The ACEA Board of Directors consists of five contractor members, five engineer members, and two associate members. Board members serve a two-year term and meet once a month or on an as needed basis. The term begins July 1. Terms are staggered to provide continuity and consistency in planning and implementation. The role of president-elect and immediate past president was implemented in 2022 allowing for further consistency and future-planning. Officers were elected by the members of the board for one-year terms at their annual meeting on June 28.

The books are closed on the 2024 Symposium and the Committee could not be happier with the results. The pre-registration numbers were back to pre-pandemic levels and the new AT&T Conference Center location breathed a new sense of excitement to the event. Conversation flowed between sessions while others found a few minutes to sit, get a relaxing chair massage, or even get a professional headshot.

​ACEA has been awarding scholarships to graduating high school seniors since 2004. Students pursuing a career in civil engineering or construction are eligible for a $2,000 scholarship with the potential of an additional $2,000 for each subsequent college year if they maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.
