Georgia PAC

The ACEC Georgia PAC was established to provide the opportunity for individuals, corporations, and businesses interested in the future of the engineering profession to contribute to the support of candidates for offices in the State of Georgia and its political subdivision.

The PAC contributes money to the political campaigns of local and state elected officials who make decisions that impact the business of engineering within the state of Georgia.
