🌆 ACE Club Digest - The Heart of AEC Community

Maybe it’s just us, but for an industry that designs and builds the foundation of our communities, AEC has room to improve on creating community for its own practitioners- especially for those who are early in their career.

Sure, everyone makes friends within their own firm, but how many opportunities have you had to branch out and build relationships outside your firm or your field? Even when these opportunities come around, they may be infrequent, expensive, or transactional.

We’d like to change this aspect of the industry, which is why we’re building ACE Club.

When community is done right, it creates opportunities to build relationships around shared experiences and shared interests. It offers mentorship for those early in their careers and helping hands when times get tough.

As we think about what ACE Club is and what we want ACE Club to become, community is at the heart.

We can’t wait to share with you all we have planned for you (like our upcoming spring meet up).
