Learn what fraud looks like in infrastructure projects, red flags to watch for, and tips for prevention. Darlene Miller, Fraud Prevention Program Manager, NDDOT

Over the last few years, there has been construction material shortages, uncertainty, and inflation while demand continues to be strong in both the public and private markets. The reasons for these conditions are multifaceted but some include construction labor shortages, supply chain reshuffling, and component material shortages. This presentation will provide more details related to some of t...

Transportation agencies ponder how a planning and environment linkages (PEL) approach can help them. What is a PEL approach and are the benefits worth considering? How do local governments become involved? What are the optimal timeframes for PEL activities and how is project acceleration achieved at no additional cost? Dialogue will also address project screening considerations when selecting a...

There are more generations in the workplace at one time than ever before, which equates to exponentially more diversity in values and ways of thinking, speaking, acting, believing, and living them. This workshop offers information that provides perspectives and strategies on how to finally harness the power of your entire workforce to gain positive traction. Jennifer Manatt, Assistant Program D...
