SPEAKING OUT FOR THE INDUSTRY ACEC has made the industry’s voice heard on issues of business, public policy and regulatory affairs. ACEC and the consulting engineering sector are regarded as credible and key stakeholders in both the private and public sectors. Working with our 12 provincial and territorial Member Organizations (MOs) across Canada, ACEC staff and volunteers from the industry have spoken out on the need for infrastructure investment, responsible resource development and a more favourable business and regulatory climate for the industry.

FACING CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES The consequences of the current economic climate and resultant government deficits are creating Anne Poschmann, P.Eng. pressure in both the public and private sectors Chair of the Board 2014-2015 to reduce spending. While this situation creates challenges, it also offers opportunities to consulting engineering companies.

Industry clients are facing a need to manage limited resources and maximize return on investment. We have an opportunity to demonstrate that selecting a consulting engineering firm is an investment decision that has a dramatic impact on a project’s success. An appropriate investment in professional services at the outset of a project can potentially reduce capital, maintenance and operating costs while improving reliability and extending service life.

This is why ACEC is advocating on behalf of their members and clients for the use of qualifications- based selection (QBS) for procuring engineering services. QBS encourages the selection of the most qualified team that will work with the owner to jointly develop the required scope of services, appropriate schedule and a fee commensurate with the scope. The objective is to agree on expectations and what can be accomplished within available budgets, while at the same time delivering innovative solutions to complete the project and meet those expectations.

ACEC is responding to this transformation. Women are abounding on ACEC’s provincial Boards and early in my term as the first female Chair in the 89-year history of this dynamic organization, I was privileged to attend a reception showcasing a marvelous initiative in Manitoba called Technical Women in Consulting Engineering (TWICE). It Anne Poschmann, P.Eng. was a wonderful eye opener reinforcing that while Chair of the Board 2014-2015 we have made advances, diversity is indeed a huge challenge in our industry. It is not just a question of

A STRATEGIC FOCUS ACEC is steadfast in its mission of promoting a business environment that recognizes and rewards our members’ expertise and contributions to society. There is no profession or industry that compares in terms of vital importance to all aspects of our social, economic and environmental quality of life.

This past year has presented numerous challenges to both our member firms and to the association itself. However, while the market for engineering services remains soft in some sectors, there are some encouraging signs for the future.

The ACEC Board has commendably sustained a long-term vision and continues to make strategic investments as we work in perpetuity to provide the greatest value proposition to members. We have John D. Gamble, CET, P.Eng. continued to focus on member engagement and President and CEO outreach to private sector firms, particularly in the resource sector. Despite another challenging year, ACEC has chosen to continue to invest some of its reserve funds to support initiatives that will allow us to grow and strengthen the association which will in turn strengthen our industry. We are fortunate that effective and prudent leadership from successive Boards has allowed us to grow and maintain healthy reserves in recent years. Moving forward, we will be again investing some of our reserves to continue pursuing important strategic initiatives in 2015-2016. We will also be pursuing opportunities for non- dues revenues in the future that will allow ACEC to expand its advocacy and programs while providing more financial security and value to members.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR ACEC has been at the forefront of advocating for the need for the federal government’s leadership and investment in public infrastructure. The recently announced $53B New Building Canada Plan, and other commitments by the federal government, are welcome news but much more remains to be done.

SUPPORTING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT

As welcome as the announcement of the $53 billion New Building Canada Plan was, there is still much to do. ACEC is recommending that a portion of any budget surplus be dedicated to infrastructure with a long-term goal that investments by all three levels of government return to historical levels of 6% of GDP.

The accompanying summary financial statements, which comprise the summary statement of financial position as at March 31, 2015, the summary statement of operations and the summary statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2015, are derived from the audited financial statements of the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada for the year then ended.
