PEs play a critical role in public health and safety — and policymakers can empower our profession to fulfill that role. That’s why advocacy matters at the federal, state, and local levels.
NSPE is the unified voice of the PE community — and we empower our members to advocate for the profession and the public. With resources that help you navigate the issues, understand the advocacy process, and — most important of all — take action, NSPE ensures you’re equipped to make a difference.
Advocacy isn’t just about taking on current challenges — it’s about engineering a strong future for the profession. Together, we can do both.
From Capitol Hill to statehouses across the country, NSPE is actively engaged in protecting professional licensure and promoting the critical role of Professional Engineers.

The first step in taking action is to find out what it means to advocate. By understanding the fundamentals of advocacy, you can actively shape decisions that impact our communities and highlight the importance of engineering expertise.
The best thing about NSPE advocacy? It’s straightforward and impactful. Whether you’re crafting a personalized letter or meeting with policymakers, each action strengthens the voice of PEs and contributes to meaningful change.
