When You Participate In A Peer Exchange You Get As Much As You Give
On April 8 & 9, T2 Center Director Donna Shea volunteered to travel to San Antonio, TX to participate in an LTAP peer exchange with seven other states. The goal of the exchange was to share experiences and explore ways to better serve the roadway needs of local governments in respective states. The findings have been very helpful in developing future action steps and strategies for the centers that participated. As with most volunteer experiences, building new relationships and learning about other center's struggles and triumphs was the most valuable thing gained from traveling to Texas. As the T2 Center reflects on this incredibly positive experience, we want to encourage all members of the LTAP and Public Works communities to engage in information exchange with their peers whenever possible!
