The American Council of Engineering Companies of Connecticut (ACEC) is the leading organization representing the business and professional interests of consulting engineering firms in the state. GBPR worked with ACEC when a proposed change to the process in which state consultant engineering contracts were awarded stood to adversely impact ACEC’s members. This change would have prevented the nearly 100 consultant engineering firms in Connecticut from providing their services to State of Connecticut government agencies, severely reducing the economic activity generated by these firms. After developing the campaign’s messages, GBPR helped ACEC’s leaders and membership communicate to state policymakers and the media the key role that consultant engineering firms play in supporting Connecticut’s infrastructure and economy.
