On this episode of "Get to Know Your Vice Chair," we welcome Ralph Guida, who will assume office at the upcoming Spring convention in DC.

Ralph Guida is a registered Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) and president and founder of Guida Surveying, Inc. in Irvine, California. He will bring 36 years of surveying experience to the position, and as a second-generation surveyor, taking an active role in supporting the future of the industry has always been a priority for him. Guida has been involved in the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) for more than 17 years, having served as Chapter President, State Organization President, Steering Committee Member, and Chair for the Coalition of Professional Surveyors (COPS). He is also a participant in the ACEC National Political Action Committee and has served as National Director for ACEC California.

This honor is granted to a distinguished class of engineering and land surveying professionals, in recognition of their contributions to the Council and the profession.
