The Nebraska Design and Counstruction Industry Council (NDCIC) is the new long name of our joint industry council between AIA-Nebraska, American Council of Engineering Firms-Nebraska (ACEC-NE) and the Building Chapter. This group, which has been functioning for the past two years, replaces the original AGC-AIA Committee.
