The American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Women Leaders Council was recently featured in U.S. DOT’s Public Roads magazine – the article “Making Inroads for Women in Transportation” is co-written by Susan Kurland, Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs.
Created in 1902, ARTBA is a federation with the primary goal of aggressively growing and protecting investment in transportation infrastructure to meet the public and business demand for safe and efficient travel.
In 2010, ARTBA created its Women Leaders Council. Led by inaugural Council Chair Melissa Tooley of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the council promotes leadership and career advancement for professional women in the transportation design and construction industry through networking, mentoring, recognition, and educational activities in partnership with ARTBA and other stakeholders.
