We had a productive and fun evening at the 2026 Elected Officials Meet & Greet. This event serves as a vital touchpoint for our industry, ensuring that the engineers designing our future have a direct line to the people drafting our policies.
Key Highlights:
- Legislative Presence: We were honored to host a few State Delegates and Senators, providing a rare opportunity to discuss infrastructure priorities face-to-face.
- Strong Staff Engagement: We saw an exceptionally strong showing from legislative staff. These are the key individuals who manage the details of policy and constituent needs, and building these relationships is essential for our long-term advocacy goals.
- Collaboration: The room was buzzing with discussions ranging from new policies affecting our industry to ways to improve existing infrastructure.
Events like these remind us that civil engineering doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It requires a synergy between technical expertise and legislative support. The turnout from both elected officials and their hardworking staff signals a healthy, ongoing interest in the engineering challenges facing our community.
