ACES would like to thank all our members who have contributed greatly to the association and its cause for so many years. As we continue our journey, we look forward to your continuing support to help and strengthen our community further, special mention and thanks also to all our council members and volunteers who despite their busy schedule, have come forward to engage the built community.

The business of consulting engineering has faced numerous challenges for the past years and we expect it to continue. The push to improve overall productivity, green building movements and eurocode implementation will create more challenges and opportunities for us. We need to work ever closely together and stay engage with the Authorities and our partners for our organisation to move forward.

To support and showcase the engineering consulting business, ACES will be organising a new award which will be called the Consulting Engineering Enterprise Award (CEEA). This award aims to recognise and celebrate the achievements of your firms beyond technical excellence and high engineering standards. The award will be presented during our ACES Dinner on the 28th March 2012, by BG(NS) Tan Chuan Jin (Minister of State, Ministry of National Development & Ministry of Manpower). I encourage all of you to participate in this award and join us in the annual dinner.

The Council will continue to serve all the Association members, and we look forward to seeing more volunteers coming forward to work with the Council in the various committee

Thank you and I look forward to serving the Association.
