About ACEC/MA Partnering Committees

Partnering with Public Agencies
ACEC/MA partners with public agencies to streamline and improve project delivery and improve communication between the public agencies and the engineering and land surveying business community.

ACEC/MA leaders, appointed by the ACEC/MA Client Sector Committees and Board Liaison, in consultation with the ACEC/MA Executive Committee, represent our engineering and design industry in the public agency partnering meetings.

To participate in public agency partnering or to lead the work as a co-chair of one of the agency committees, starting in August 2020 for the next two years, review the volunteer position descriptions for:
Partnering Chair or Co-Chair: https://files.engineers.org/file/Job-Description-For-ACECMA-Partnering-Committee-Chairs-And-Co-Chairs.pdf
and
Partnering Committee Member: https://files.engineers.org/file/Job-Description-For-ACECMA-Partnering-Committee-Members.pdf

Then, if you can meet the requirements for these voluntary positions, sign up below to be considered for Partnering Committee service on one of these public agency committees:
-- DCR: MA Department of Conservation and Recreation
-- DCAMM: MA Division of Capital Asset Maintenance and Management
-- DEP: MA Department of Environmental Protection
-- MassDOT Highway: Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Highway Division
-- MassDOT OTP:  Planning

-- Massport: Massachusetts Port Authority
-- MWRA: Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
-- RTAC: Regional Transportation Advisory Council of the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (RTAC of MPO) - 1 ACEC/MA seat, 1 alternate. This is not a partnering committee, but an opportunity to represent ACEC/MA. 

Important:  Only one person per ACEC/MA Member Firm will be appointed to a particular public agency partnering committee.  ACEC/MA may call upon other firm leaders for input on particular issues, but please coordinate with your team, so that only 1 person from your firm signs up for a particular public agency partnering committee and does not sign up for another public agency partnering committee.
Example: You can have 1 person sign up for DCR and another person sign up for MBTA, but they have to be different people.
