Presidents Letter.Pub 2009-2010 Annual Report 1 President’s Letter It’s difficult to know where to begin as I reflect back on the last twelve months. Last summer, I was headed into my final year as National Director, and likely my last year on the ACEC/Nebraska Board of Directors. At our very first meeting with the newly elected Board in August, I was asked if I would be willing to step in and serve as President to fill the vacancy created when our recently elected President left the consulting business. I was honored to be asked to serve and I appreciated the confidence in me expressed by the Board of Directors, but knew that the challenges facing our industry were significant. The past twelve months have been extremely difficult for our member firms and their employees. The recession continued to suppress private development activity, and the decreased sales tax and gasoline tax revenues further strained our local and state governments. For those member firms that provide transportation engineering services, these challenges were compounded by the issues between NDOR and FHWA and the complete overhaul of the way local projects were processed. As a result of the changes, very few projects moved through the system and even fewer new projects were initiated. ACEC/N was very actively involved in the discussions with NDOR and FHWA, and provided key testimony during the Transportation Summit convened on April 30, 2010 by Senator Ben Nelson. Since that time, we have “had a seat at the table” with NDOR and FHWA as they follow up to address the concerns raised at the Summit. While in many cases, progress has been slower than we would like, we have seen some significant shifts in policies and processes that will help to alleviate concerns and expedite project delivery. We still have a long way to go, but progress is being made. It appears that public sector funding for infrastructure projects will continue to be limited for a number of years due to reduced revenue at the local, state and federal levels. There will likely be a push in the Legislature for a new Transportation Funding program, and ACEC/N will be aggressively supporting a significant increase in overall funding, which may include shifting revenue sources from other programs into the Highway Trust Fund. As I enter my 10th year of service to the member firms of ACEC/Nebraska, I think of all of the changes that have taken place in our industry and in our Association. Near the end of my first term as ACEC/N President in 2007, I was tasked with the responsibility to hire a new Executive Director and staff. Over the last three years, it has been rewarding to see how quickly Jackie and Bea have adapted to the challenges of our industry and have become such strong advocates for consulting engineering and our Association. Their professionalism and hard work help to make ACEC/N the voice of engineering in Nebraska and a resource for politicians and other community leaders. I would like to publicly thank Jackie and Bea for their service to ACEC/N and for all of the help they have been to me personally over the last three years. Our industry still has many challenges ahead of us, and the next couple of years will continue to be difficult for many firms. I have great confidence in the elected leadership and staff at ACEC/N to provide the guidance and direction necessary to represent our industry and our member firms and to keep our Association strong.

  • Accentuating the Positive in Nebraska's GOP Race for Governor
    July 1, 1998 Accentuating the Positive in Nebraska's GOP Race for Governor Bob Wickers Mike Johanns was outspent by $2 million, never mentioned his opponents' names on TV - and won a big primary victory We started the campaign knowing three things: 1) We were going to be considerably outspent by both of our opponents; 2) We were going to build a grassroots organization in all 93 counties throughout Nebraska and 3) We were going to stay positive no matter what. On primary night, Tuesday, May 12th, we stood in a packed hotel ballroom in Lincoln, Nebraska. The room was overflowing with campaign workers, reporters and supporters, all waiting for the imminent arrival of Mike Johanns, whom the Associated Press had just declared the winner in the Republican primary for governor. There were cell phones ringing and reporters going live on the air, and the moment when Mike, his wife Stephanie, and children Michaela and Justin finally walked in, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause that could be heard from Omaha to Scottsbluff. We were reminded of the day when we first met Mike Johanns, more than a year earlier, when this night seemed a long way off. In the spring of 1997, we had traveled to Lincoln to meet Johanns. As the mayor of Lincoln, he had earned respect and accolades for his conservative leadership style and ability to get things done. The city had experienced unprecedented economic growth and enjoyed a AAA bond rating while seeing cuts in property taxes and an increased number of police on the streets.
