Executive Director’s Message
President’s Message
As ACEC/PA’s executive director, it’s my honor and pleasure to welcome
you to the 2024 ACEC/PA Diamond Awards for Engineering Excellence. This
event serves as the capstone of the year’s achievements, celebrating the very
best of Pennsylvania’s consulting engineering community.
Every year, you and your colleagues throughout the commonwealth are
challenged to explore the limits of innovation, creativity, and efficiency to
improve our aging infrastructure system. This year, you’ve yet again met that
challenge in stride and delivered some of the most efficient and breathtaking
improvements imaginable.
I am sincerely grateful to all of you, not only as members of ACEC/PA, but as the best of the
best in the industry. Your ability to achieve and make the impossible possible continues to shine
bright tonight and into the future.
As you enjoy tonight and the outstanding efforts of your colleagues, I’d also like to extend
my deepest appreciation to our sponsors, who graciously contributed to making this event a
tremendous success.

On behalf of the ACEC/PA board of directors, I would like to welcome you
to the 2024 Diamond Awards for Engineering Excellence. Earlier this year,
I was honored to assume the role of president of the ACEC/PA board of
directors. The past few months have been both challenging and rewarding,
but tonight’s celebration reminded me of the honor I have had to lead such
a talented and gifted organization of professionals. These projects span the
vast corners of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and represent the very
best in design consulting for Pennsylvania’s unique infrastructure needs.
While the winners of each category will be recognized with an award this evening, every
submission this year continued the ACEC/PA tradition of incredible innovation, precise skill, and
unbridled talent that makes our industry truly great.
I am incredibly pleased and deeply humbled to celebrate these projects and the amazing
amount of effort that went into every detail. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every
one of you for your support, your limitless desire to achieve bigger and better things, and the
greatness that we celebrate tonight and throughout the entire year. Thank you for all that you
continue to do.
A special thank you to the ACEC/PA staff and Diamond Awards judges and volunteers who
made this celebration possible.
Michael Bougher, PE
