ACEC of Arizona Youth Scholarship Golf Tournament
Monday, April 19, 2010 (8:00 a.m. Shotgun Start)
Today's engineering pool is shrinking, due in large part to our nation's youth choosing not to enter the engineering profession. The American Council of Engineering Companies of Arizona is making strides to rebuild the engineering profession through public education. The goal of our annual golf tournament is two-fold: 1) Raise funds to provide multiple scholarships for students majoring in engineering at any one of Arizona's three state universities; and 2) Provide engineering educational outreach tools and programs for K through 12th grade youth of Arizona. We focus on the message: "Engineers Change the World."
Publicize your firm and support the Arizona engineering and youth communities:

Engineers Getting Involved!!!
Getting YOUR name out! One great way to get marketing exposure for you and your firm is to become involved in government at a grass roots level. While engineers are well aware of the State Board of Technical Registration, many do not know of the dozens of other opportunities to get involved in policy issues affecting our engineering industry. In addition to the numerous Boards and Commissions that deal with technical issues, almost every Board and Commission has public members who serve.
Additional information and some of the current vacancies of state boards and commissions that may be of interest to you are here.
