Transportation Division Business Meeting

This Annual Transportation Division (DTRN) Business Meeting is coupled with a special presentation titled, “Fact or Fiction: Is America’s Infrastructure Really Crumbling?” As part of this session, issues raised at the DTRN Board Meeting will be presented to those in attendance. New business will also be opened for discussion. All Division members are encouraged to attend, and a roundtable format will help to facilitate an informal – but lively – debate.

If you are attending the conference this year, please take some time to visit the vendor area and let them know how much we appreciate their support. 

Also thank you to the Executive Board and Officers for their hard work in planning and executing division activities and this conference.  This year’s conference planners had some interesting challenges- so kudos to all!
