ADOT Open House & SDBE EXPO
Join ADOT executive leadership at the November 16th ADOT Open House & SDBE EXPO for the final program of the 2011 “Working with ADOT” series. Are you currently contracting with ADOT or are you interested in working with the agency? If so, you need to understand the vision of the agency’s leadership and the challenges our State DOT currently faces. ADOT has been retooling its approach to project delivery, management, and communication to have more of a “business” focus. Director John S. Halikowski, Deputy Director of Operations John Bogert, and Arizona’s new State Engineer Jennifer Toth will present regarding the future of the agency.
