One of ACEC Virginia’s missions is to serve as the legislative advocate for the Virginia engineering industry. Each year during the EEA Gala, we recognize one legislator in the House and one in the Senate for their efforts, which have helped strengthen the Virginia engineering profession. This, in turn, helps Virginia progress, gives citizens a better-built environment and quality of life, and strengthens our state’s ability to compete and thrive in the future.
