We are proud to be part of AASHTO’s celebra on of 100 years of suppor ng the transporta on industry and professionals. One of the tremendous benefi ts of par cipa ng in AASHTO Annual Conferences is the opportunity for transporta on professionals to connect and collaborate with peers from other geographic areas. Over the next three days, speakers will cover topics of tremendous signifi cance and importance to the transporta on industry. While in Savannah, I hope that you will take full advantage of this opportunity to interact with the speakers and your peers. Georgia DOT’s Offi ce of Audits has arranged an excellent program that I am sure you will enjoy. In addi on to the excellent presenta ons, they have arranged a Savannah Riverboat Dinner Cruise as part of our closing ac vi es as well as the Savannah Tour and Parasailing for those of you who arrived early. I want to extend my thanks to the volunteers who have worked hard to make this a special event. Their eff orts are deeply appreciated by me and the Georgia DOT family. I would also like to extend a very special thanks to the Honorable Mayor Edna Jackson for welcoming us to Savannah, and to our sponsors for their generous support of the conference. Of course, the best part of the AASHTO Annual Conference is renewing friendships and mee ng new colleagues. If you need anything while at the conference, just look for one of the Georgia DOT Audit team members, and they will be glad to assist you. Whether this is your fi rst Annual Audit Conference or your 40th, my hope is that you will leave Savannah energized with new possibili es, a greater apprecia on of AASHTO, a larger network of professional resources and even new friends. Have a relaxing and refreshing me while you experience Georgia’s version of southern hospitality. Thank you so much for joining us here in Savannah, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
