WASHINGTON —The American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) is accepting nominations for its 2020 Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP), the 25th annual class of the first-of-its-kind introduction to federal and state advocacy for transportation infrastructure market development and protection. It will be held May 12-14 in the Nation’s Capital.
 
The ILDP and its associated Industry Leader Development Council (ILDC) boast of nearly 750 graduates from over 200 industry firms, state contractor chapters and public agencies since its inception in 1995. The immersive, two-and-a-half day program provides an understanding of industry economics, how transportation work in the U.S. is funded and financed, how actions by the federal government impact the industry and how to become politically engaged to help shape transportation policy. ILDP fellows will also visit with their members of Congress to discuss the need for congressional action on a permanent Highway Trust Fund solution and new infrastructure investment package.
 
The ILDP is held in conjunction with ARTBA’s annual Federal Issues Program (FIP) and the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) Washington Fly-In.
 
Admission to the ILDP is a competitive process.
 
Eligibility Requirements
 

  • Nominees should be between ages 30-50, have at least three years of experience in the transportation design and construction industry, have made a significant contribution to the work of his or her firm, and shown evidence of strong leadership potential for the industry. 
  • To be considered for admission, candidates must be nominated by a sponsor and submit a completed application form. 

 
Nomination Process
 
Admission to the ILDP is competitive.  A letter of nomination and recommendation written by a principal of the firm, a senior executive within the governmental agency, or a senior-level faculty member at the university which employs the applicant must accompany each application. 
 
Applications must be received at ARTBA’s offices in Washington, D.C., by Wednesday, April 1. 
 
Access the nomination form, or contact ARTBA’s Nick Goldstein at 202.683.1005 with any questions. 

Established in 1985, the ARTBA Foundation is a 501(c) 3 tax-exempt entity designed to “promote research, education and public awareness” about the impacts of transportation investment.  It supports an array of initiatives, including educational scholarships, awards, management and education programs, roadway work zone safety training, special economic research and reports, American National Standards Institute-accredited transportation project safety certification, and an exhibition on transportation at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
