This month, NASBP participated in a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) Stakeholders Meeting for a Bonding Education Program that will be conducted in Baltimore, MD beginning in October. Baltimore has been chosen as the location for the next Bonding Education Program due to two major transit projects now in the works. 

The stakeholders at this meeting included NASBP Second Vice President, Lynne Cook of Early, Cassidy & Schilling and NASBP staff, as well as representatives from multiple offices of the U.S. DOT, the Maryland Transit Administration, the Maryland-Washington Minority Contractors’ Association, the Maryland Governor’s Office of Minority Affairs, and SFAA.

Outreach programs such as this are great opportunities for NASBP members to volunteer their time and expertise to assist small and emerging businesses throughout the country. If you are interested in participating in an upcoming program, please contact Shannon Crawford, NASBP Manager of State Relations, at (202) 464-1170 or scrawford@nasbp.org.
