ARTBA Seeking Nominations for Annual Industry Leader Development Program Deadline: April 1
(WASHINGTON) – The American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s Foundation is accepting nominations for its 2022 Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP), a basic introduction to federal and state advocacy on transportation policy, regulatory and legal issues.
