About ACEC/PAC
The American Council of Engineering Companies Political Action Committee (ACEC/PAC) was established in 1975 to allow ACEC members the opportunity to support and keep federal candidates in office who support a pro-business legislative agenda. ACEC/PAC is bipartisan and operates out in the open in full compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act and applicable state laws. Each state is represented by a PAC Trustee to help meet its state's annual PAC goal.

The Chairman's Club
The Chairman's Club mobilizes ACEC's most politically active PAC contributors. Chairman's Club members agree to pledge a minimum $2,500 per year to support key House and Senate members, with $1,000 of their commitment going directly to ACEC/PAC and the remaining funds held "on call" to be used for direct giving to candidates at ACEC/PAC-sponsored events.
