Benefits of Membership

Full Membership Benefits
Available to Consulting Engineering & Land Surveying Firms that hold a valid registration card with the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration.

Your membership in ACEC Arizona entitles your firm to a wide range of tangible and intangible benefits at both the state and national levels. The value of your membership grows as your firm becomes more actively engaged.

Dual Membership Advantage

When joining ACEC Arizona, your firm also becomes a member of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) National, giving you access to an unmatched network of advocacy, education, business tools, and professional resources.

(If you are a branch office of a national firm, your national office may already be a member of ACEC National. In that case, you pay only state dues.)
