About AACE

With 7,000 members in 100 countries, AACE International has been serving the total cost management community since 1956. We are committed to the constructive exchange of ideas between members, development of technical guidance and quality education and recognition of subject matter experts.

For over 40 years AACE has been certifying individuals. We offer the following certifications: Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Certified Cost Technician (CCT), Certified Estimating Professional (CEP), Certified Forensic Claims Consultant (CFCC), Earned Value Professional (EVP), Decision and Risk Management Professional (DRMP), Certified Scheduling Technician (CST) and Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP). AACE’s CCP, CCT, CEP, CST, EVP, and PSP certifications are independently accredited by the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards.

What Does "AACE" Stand For?

The legal name since 1992 is AACE International. In 1956 the organization was established as the American Association of Cost Engineers. While you may have seen that “AACE” stands for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, this is only a statement that encompasses the work of the Association, not a legal name.

AACE International Welcomes Gina Mazzetti

by Penny Whoolery | May 22, 2018

GinaMazzetti_medAACE International is pleased to announce that Gina Mazzetti has been hired as the new Member Services Coordinator, and sad to report the retirement of Sharon Hardman, effective May 18, 2017.

Sharon has been a dedicated and valuable member of Headquarters staff for 13 years. She and her husband, John, are looking forward to starting a new chapter in Fort Wayne, Indiana to enjoy being near their grandchildren.

Finding the best Sharon “replacement” was not easy (how could it be?). After scouring tons of resumes and conducting numerous interviews for an Administrative Rockstar we were fortunate enough to find Gina.

Gina began her AACE journey on Thursday, May 3, 2017 and spent two weeks with Sharon learning firsthand how to handle the day-to-day operations of membership coordination.

She has over 33 years of administrative experience in a variety of capacities, such as an Administrative Associate, Realtor, Property Manager and small grocery store owner/manager, to name a few.

As the Member Services Coordinator, Gina will play an integral role on the AACE International Headquarters team by coordinating and supporting our membership program, with a strong emphasis on the Corporate and Organizational Membership Program (COMP).

Gina lives in Morgantown and enjoys riding horses, spoiling her granddaughter, and exploring new restaurants, searching for the best places in and around West Virginia.

We are excited to have Gina on the team and feel confident you will enjoy working with her too.
