President’s Award

The ACEC/MN President's Award is presented by the Board of Directors to an individual employed by an ACEC member firm who has made a significant contribution to the association and has been a valuable asset to the consulting engineering profession over the past year. This could include regular or ad hoc committee activity; attendance at the awards banquet, monthly meetings and seminars; promoting ACEC/MN to the public and/or acting in the interests of ACEC/MN; or other activities. Current members of the ACEC/MN Board of Directors are not eligible for this award.

This year’s President’s Award was presented to three recipients to recognize their efforts on behalf of the ACEC/MN Campaign Fund and ACEC National PAC:

• Bob Moore of SRF Consulting Group
• Chris Leverett of Kimley-Horn
• Gene Sieve of Burns & McDonnell

Bob, Chris and Gene have led campaigns to raise awareness and funds for both the state Campaign Fund and the National PAC – leading Minnesota to achieve our goal with ACEC National for PAC contributions for the first time in 2020, and continuing to reach the goal for 2021 and 2022. All three were also instrumental in the transition to the ACEC/MN Campaign Fund from a PAC, which simplified administration and enabled better collaboration with the National PAC. Fundraising for the ACEC/MN Campaign Fund and the number of contributors continue to grow each year with their efforts, bringing more members into ACEC/MN advocacy efforts and growing the pool of resources to support the needs of the engineering industry in St. Paul.

Thank you and congratulations!
