Save the dates! In March and April, join the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, the American Society of Civil Engineers Wisconsin Section and invited guests for a joint webinar series, "Invest in Wisconsin's Infrastructure!" The webinars are localized to the four geographical quadrants in Wisconsin. You can register at the links below:
- Southeast Wisconsin: March 4, 3-5 p.m.
- Southwest Wisconsin: March 18, 3-5 p.m.
- Northwest Wisconsin: April 1, 3-5 p.m.
- Northeast Wisconsin: April 15, 3-5 p.m.
LWVWI and ASCE-WI are collaborating on this project to educate Wisconsin residents about ASCE's 2020 Infrastructure report card. Across Wisconsin, infrastructure grades range from D- to a B+, demonstrating a clear need to infrastructure improvements.
The four webinars will all include the 30-minute presentations by Carl Sutter and William Holahan. Carl Sutter, P.E., is the society director for the ASCE-WI and will provide an overview of the Infrastructure Report Card. William Holahan, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, will make a compelling case for why “now” is the right time to invest in sustainable infrastructure in Wisconsin.
Following the presentations will be a live Q&A session between the presenters and local stakeholders to allow for quadrant specific discussions.
After this series of introductory sessions across the state, LWVWI will host webinars on select infrastructure categories to serve as springboards for local advocacy for increased investment in sustainable infrastructure.
