Annual Dinner Event

Location: Olesia's Taverne of Richfield
Time: 5:00PM-9:00PM

Topic: National/ Ohio Infrastructure Report Card Panel

Panelists: Gina Beim, Lita Laven, & Michael Schipper

Panelists are members of the commitee that puts the Report Cards together. The ASCE Committee on America’s Infrastructure, made up of 52 civil engineers and infrastructure professionals from across the country with decades of expertise in all categories, volunteers their time to work with ASCE Infrastructure Initiatives staff to prepare the Report Card. The Committee assesses all relevant data and reports, consults with technical and industry experts, and assigns grades.

We are taking questions ahead of the event and will also open up the floor for questions during the event.
