The American Council of Engineering Companies of Montana (ACEC of Montana) is a Member Organization of the American Council of Engineering Companies ACEC).

ACEC is the only national organization devoted exclusively to advancing the business interests of firms engaged in the independent practice of consulting engineering. The ACEC is a federation of 51 state and regional councils, called Member Organizations.

ACEC and its Member Organizations work together to attain important goals that design firms would be unable to obtain on their own. ACEC provides a responsive and knowledgeable voice for the design professionals throughout the country.

• Through ACE/PAC and grassroots lobbying efforts, ACEC helps sensitize legislators to consulting engineers’ concerns.
• To make professional liability insurance even more available and affordable, ACEC helps its state/regional Member Organizations to modify work compensation laws, shorten statutes of limitations, and similar tort reform measures.
• ACEC’s aggressive government relations program, coupled with a national image-building campaign targeting clients, legislators, regulators and the general public, promotes procurement of engineering design based on qualifications, not price.
