Goal 3: Increase Effectiveness of GEA in Meeting ACEC/G Goals

 

This topic was treated as a discussion of the current and proposed GEA activities of importance to ACEC/G based on the following three criteria:

 

  1. A critical ACEC/G activity we should lead with time and financial resources.
  2. An important activity that others should lead and ACEC/G may support with financial resources.
  3. Other ACEC/G recommendations for GEA will be directed to the GEA Board and not an ACEC/G priority. The GEA activities that are a top priority for ACEC/G are:

     

    • Engineering Excellence Awards (Marketing)
    • “Georgia Engineer Magazine” (Marketing)
    • Summer Conference (Education, Marketing)
    • Engineers Legislative Coalition (Political)
    • Building Legislative Reception (Political)
    • QBS Georgia Steering Committee (Marketing)
    • Future Leaders
    • Quarterly Leadership Council Meetings
    • Increase Non-Dues $ - Enhance Education
    • Brand GEA as the voice of Georgia engineers (not just ACEC/G)
    • GEA to develop strategic plan
    • Generate more non-dues revenue. Consider great education programs. Maximize those done under the GEA umbrella
