USDOT Connects You to Opportunity Part 2: The Leadership Academy

After hosting the launch event in Washington, DC, in early October, we wanted to create a similar experience for people in the Midwest and on the West Coast. Yesterday, at the same time we posted the Leadership Academy materials on our website, we were hosting a Regional Workshop in Kansas City, MO, and today we are going to be doing the same thing in Seattle. Yesterday, more than 50 people came to the USDOT Regional Office Building in Kansas City to attend the workshop. Our own Chief Opportunities Officer Stephanie Jones and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Regional Administrator Mokhtee Ahmad hosted a discussion about what it means to become a transportation leader in your community. They invited feedback about the Academy and fielded questions from participants. During interactive breakout sessions, DOT staff from FTA, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilitated learning activities to help participants dig in to the content of the Academy's feature document: the Transportation Toolkit. Some participants even got first-hand experience making tough decisions during a public meeting role-play.   Click Here to continue reading USDOT Connects You to Opportunity Part 2: The Leadership Academy   You are subscribed to DOT email updates.
