The Benefits of ACI Chapter Membership:
One of ACI's greatest strengths is that we truly represent the users' interest, with the broadest possible definition of "user": public agencies, engineers, architects, owners, contractors, educators and researchers, and other specialists interested in the design, construction, or maintenance of concrete structures. Another of our great strengths comes from progress within ACI. Our output at local, national, and international levels is based on the efforts of thousands of volunteers with assistance and guidance from a small professional staff at ACI headquarters. We realize more than ever that success in meeting our mission depends directly on the vitality and dedicated efforts of ACI membership and staff.
A New Mission for ACI's Second Century:
While the guiding principles behind the original purpose and mission statements of ACI continue to be as true today as they were in 1905, we believe that the following mission statement better portrays our current position and responsibilities: ACI will strive to be the world's premier developer and disseminator of information on the use of concrete for structures and facilities. This document presents a carefully conceived plan to realize this ambitious mission. The sustained efforts needed to implement the Plan will enhance and strengthen ACI International and provide a host of valuable new benefits for its members. At the same time, carrying out the many initiatives needed to achieve this mission should provide personal excitement and challenge for members and staff.
