Overall the meeting was a success boasting a great deal of interest in SCB within the transportation world, a productive Board of Directors Meeting, a well attended symposium and members meeting and a fun social at the Flying saucer to wrap things up. John Fitzgerald (SCB Policy Director) brought enlightening discussion to the meetings with news of SCB's efforts in the North America policy arena. Many thanks to ICOET and Joe Burns for helping to make this a successful event. Please see below for a photo gallery of the meeting. |
