ACEC Annual Convention I just returned from the 2012 ACEC Annual and Legislative Summit. It was the second annual convention which I have had the pleasure to attend. We had excellent presentations made by CEOs from some of our largest companies, one domestic and two foreign companies with a major presence in the United States. In fact, those foreign companies had more employees in the U.S. than in their home countries’ headquarters. It was very interesting to hear that both had major expansion plans projected within the U.S. I find it very intriguing that these companies are expanding exponentially in the U.S. in a downturn economy.o read the rest of President Behar's message as it appears in the May issue of the FICE update, click on the button below. 2012 FICE Transportation Conference $824 million – FDOT PE Budget Before the Florida Legislature adjourned on March 9th, it set the 2012-2013 budget for the Florida Department of Transportation.
