The San Francisco Bay Area Section has been part of AACE International since 1957. It is our goal to be your local connection to all cost, schedule and earned value engineering techniques, resources, and methodologies. Our Board and volunteers are here to help your company train and certify your staff and to prepare them for the highly competitive market of Project Management and Construction Management. Monthly dinner meetings begin in September and run through May. These dinner meetings bring exciting new projects as well as new cost, schedule and earned value techniques and tools to you as they become available to the area. Every year in March we celebrate our technical program with a weekend long workshop in beautiful Monterey, California. This Western Winter Workshop was started in 1961 and this year we will celebrate "The 48th Annual Western Winter Workshop."
