“The biggest challenge facing A/E firms today is development of our future leaders. We had several of our emerging leaders attend the ACEC Leadership Development program and the feedback I received was extremely positive. In particular, it helped them gain a broader perspective on the business aspects of consulting and we are already realizing the return on this investment in their leadership development.”  --Larry Fox, PE, COO, DOWL

____________________________________

“I enjoyed the ACEC Oregon Leadership Series very much and was able to take away several useful tools from the series related to project management and leadership. The series helped me by providing insightful methods, processes, practices and ways of thinking to continue to develop as a leader. Additionally, learning personality types and how to build a successful team with a well-rounded balance of different personality types was very insightful. I also gained knowledge about the Oregon political landscape, lobbying, how to have a voice, and the state legislature.” 

"All speakers during the series were excellent. I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful, thoughtful peers throughout the series.  I particularly enjoyed the breakout sessions. This was a nice component to the series.

"ACEC and all the speakers did an excellent job transitioning from a pre-pandemic in-person experience to an online platform. I thought both worked well, with a slight preference for in-person meetings.

"I particularly appreciated sessions led by Mike Baker and Leo MacLeod. They were engaging, informative, and both speakers did a great job of making it a fun learning experience. 
 
"I would highly recommend the Leadership Series to other professionals, particularly mid-career professionals looking to advance their careers by learning important leadership skills and lessons that expand well beyond technical capabilities and can be applied to many areas of life.
 
"Thank you!"  --Craig Heimbucher, P.E., Senior Associate Engineer, Terraphase Engineering Inc.
