Interstate Bridge Replacement - Women Paving the Way
In honor of Women’s History Month, the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) program is celebrating inspirational women in the logs of history and women leaders today. We are contacting you because we would like to invite one or more ITE Oregon representatives to participate in the Zoom room of our upcoming virtual roundtable event, “Women Paving the Way,” set for 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 23.  The goal of this event is to highlight the role of women in transportation and infrastructure, and shed light on career challenges, triumphs, and best practices for future women leaders. We will ask six panelists questions about their experiences in what is traditionally a male-dominated field, and encourage sharing advice for women considering a similar career path. 
 
The panelists for this event will include:
  • Grace Crunican, IBR Strategic Advisor and former Oregon Department of Transportation Director, will serve as moderator
  • Carley Francis, Southwest Regional Administrator, Washington State Department of Transportation
  • Mara Krinke, IBR Principal Climate Officer
  • Shilpa Mallem, PE, PTOE, IBR Deputy Design Manager
  • Natalie Owen, PE, IBR Deputy Civil Design Lead
  • Charla Skaggs, IBR Strategic Government Relations Advisor
  • Heather Wills, IBR Strategist
 
For reference, recent IBR roundtables include:
