July's e-learning video of the month comes from the 2019 Annual Conference. Looking at the state of our country's hard infrastructure—roads, bridges, highways, transit systems and more—this discussion speaks to the challenges our infrastructure faces, including funding that could address them. Speakers include:
- Casey Dinges (American Society of Civil Engineers)
- Derrell Turner (U.S. Department of Transportation)
- Paul Wiedefeld (Washington Metro)
- Wendy Haynes, Moderator (Bridgewater State University)
This video is approximately 45 minutes, so put aside a lunch hour to listen to this important subject!
