October Conduit/WisPAC Update

Thanks to our hardworking volunteers and contributors, ACEC WI was able to give more than $58,000 to candidates that support engineering in Wisconsin. While the fundraising portion of the political season is over, the most important part is next: voting. All members are strongly encouraged to vote in the upcoming elections. Through grassroots fundraising, advocacy and voting, ACEC WI plays a substantial role in the political process. Now is also a great time to replenish your conduit or to start providing funds.

To get started (or to replenish), please view our Conduit/WisPAC page and join those already participating:
