ARTBA Foundation Opens Nomination Process for Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP)

(WASHINGTON) – The ARTBA Foundation is accepting nominations for its highly sought-after Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP)—a premier opportunity for executives to gain invaluable insights into federal and state transportation advocacy. The event takes place in the Nation’s Capital May 6-8 in conjunction with ARTBA’s Federal Issues Program.

The ILDP equips participants with critical knowledge on transportation policy, safety, legal and regulatory issues, and the funding of the nation’s infrastructure. It also includes exclusive sessions with C-suite executives, offering insider strategies for advancing careers and success in the industry.

The program also offers unparalleled exposure to key policy discussions as well as networking opportunities. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge about the federal highway program, the 2021 infrastructure law, and how to drive meaningful political action to influence transportation policy. More than 850 graduates from over 200 industry firms and public agencies have completed the ILDP since 1996. HNTB, one of the world’s leading infrastructure firms, is the program’s exclusive sponsor. 

Space is limited. Nomination forms  will be accepted on a rolling basis until 6 p.m., Friday, March 14. Contact ARTBA’s Carolyn Kramer Simons at 202.683.1025 with questions.
