Description
ACESA was created in the 1950s by the leaders of the various professional societies in the valley. The leaders recognized that a coordinating group could enhance their ability to achieve their individual society objectives. In the early 1960s, ACESA published a monthly magazine. In 1972, Phoenix and Tucson became independent regions. For nearly half a century, society representatives and other volunteers have been meeting once a month to exchange information and support each others activities. Since community interfacing and various educational competitions are multidisciplinary, ACESA became the primary means of disseminating information and promoting these activities. Engineer's Week, State and County Science Fairs, Career Days, Future City Competition, Choices Program and the Delta Partnership are notable examples.
