Recording of NASBP March 29 Virtual Seminar Available Now for Free 

Be sure to listen to the complimentary NASBP Virtual Seminar that was held on March 29 when NASBP presented, “NASBP Partners with DOT to Promote Bonding.” Larry LeClair, NASBP Director of Government Relations, gave an overview of NASBP’s involvement with the Department of Transportation’s Bonding Education Program (BEP) before introducing Nyime Gilchrist, the program’s manager. Gilchrist provided information about the BEP outreach, programming, and successes, as well as the plans for the coming year. Two NASBP members, Patty Zenizo and Don Burden described their participation and shared anecdotes illustrating the value of their involvement in the DOT BEPs. To access the free recording, go to the “Education” section of the NASBP homepage.

Spring and Summer Programming

The $69 registration fee includes a recording of the telephone briefing that is emailed via a link to the registrant a few days after the live presentation. Therefore, if after registering for a NASBP Virtual Seminar, a registrant later discovers that they are unable to participate during the live virtual seminar, they can listen to the recording another time when it is convenient.
