Partnering

Several ACEC/MA teams continue to have ongoing discussions with the major state agencies responsible for infrastructure facilities regarding their procurement methods, contract types, overhead and salary rate caps, and the need for single agency audits. Progress has been made on some fronts but more work is needed and these efforts will continue. Since names and faces have changed at the agencies with the new administration now in place, it has brought some renewed hope that even more progress can be made on these fronts. Executive Director Abbie Goodman has participated in most of these discussions, along with members of the various committees and the Board, and can answer specific questions regarding each agency. Refer to the ACEC/MA organization chart for the specific agency contact or contact Abbie Goodman directly at agoodman@engineers.org.
