ACEC Louisiana’s 2025–2026 Priority Planning Retreat

Next month, the ACEC Louisiana Board of Governors will come together for our 2025–2026 Priority Planning Retreat. This annual retreat is where we chart the course for the year ahead, setting the goals and objectives that will guide our work on behalf of Louisiana’s engineering community.

A highlight of the retreat will be hearing directly from our committee chairs, who will present proposed priorities for their committees. These priorities don’t just come from leadership, they come from you, our members.

In the coming weeks, each standing committee will be holding a meeting or reaching out by email to gather feedback. Be on the lookout for those invitations and messages. Your input is critical in shaping the direction of ACEC Louisiana and ensuring our committees reflect the needs and ideas of our membership.

By working together, we can make sure ACEC Louisiana remains strong, focused, and responsive to the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Standing Committees of ACEC Louisiana

• Legislative

• Transportation 

• Risk Management

• Facilities 

• Water Resources 

A lot has changed has it relates to the major state agencies that impact the committees listed above. The next ten months will provide our organization an incredible opportunity to influence policy and decision making that will determine the trajectory of these agencies and the future of engineering for years to come.

If you are not already, I highly encourage you to join a committee or committees so you can help shape the work ACECL does for the business of engineering. You can join a committee by clicking on the button below.

The Board of Governors will hold their annual Strategic Planning Retreat and Board meeting on September 18 -19, 2025.
