Description

ACEC Georgia Turns 70! 🎉

We’re celebrating 70 years of ACEC Georgia where it all began—Macon, Georgia! Founded in Macon in 1956, ACEC Georgia has been advocating for and supporting Georgia’s engineering community for seven decades. Help us celebrate this milestone with a throwback to our roots! 

Come dressed in your best 1950s-inspired look—think poodle skirts, greasers, or Elvis. Whether you go all-out or add a little retro flair, we want to see your best ’50s style!

Let’s celebrate 70 years of ACEC Georgia, honor where we started, and rock around the clock in Macon! 🕺🎶
