OCA and ODOT to Hold Partnering Training
It has been a few years since we have had Partnering Training around the State, and the ODOT/OCA Partnering Committee has scheduled a refresher course to be held at various times and locations throughout the State. We ask that you strongly consider sending your staff that have project management responsibilities to hear the current state of Partnering with ODOT and as a show of support for this effort. Please see the link below to have your staff sign up for the 2018 Statewide Partnering Training. There are six separate locations where the trainings will take place. The obvious choice is to select the location in the Districts where you have the most work but this is not mandatory. If the time and location is inconvenient for some of your staff, they may select any other location.

The deadline for sign-up will be Friday, January 5th. Please contact Chris Engle with any questions.
