About AACE

 

Who We Are

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. Our members work in a variety of disciplines and across all industries.

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.

Our Mission

AACE members drive projects to complete on time, on cost, and meet investment and operational goals. We arm our members with the technical tools and expertise to support successful projects and programs.

Town Hall for Members - Proposed Changes to the Constitution & Bylaws

by Jennie Amos | Jan 20, 2021
AACE International members are asked to review the updated AACE Bylaws and accompanying narrative below and then cast a vote for or against the proposed amendments in this year’s election ballot.


Proposed AACE Bylaws

Narrative Regarding Proposed Bylaws

For over a year, the AACE International Board of Directors has been reviewing the organization’s structure with the intent to operate more efficiently and better engage with members. As a result, there was an emerging need to update the association’s governing documents in order to make language relevant, consistent, and compliant with state and federal laws.

Time has been taken to ensure the redrafted Bylaws is a consensus document to the greatest extent possible, protects the great things about AACE, and meets the needs of AACE’s future. The document has gone through an iterative review process over many months with input from the AACE Board of Directors, the Constitution & Bylaws Committee, various member stakeholders (including Past-Presidents and Associate Boards), and legal counsel.

The AACE Board of Directors is recommending the membership vote to “APPROVE” the proposed 2021 Bylaws.
