In this bonus content, DBIA Executive Director/CEO Lisa Washington and DBIA National Board Chair Tom Foley (Commissioner, New York City Department of Design and Construction) talk about the power of legislative advocacy in expanding design-build authority across the nation. Tom reflects on New York City’s hard-fought legislative wins and how DBIA’s national support helped secure critical alternate delivery methods. Lisa explains how DBIA’s educational advocacy equips regions and chapters with the resources needed to drive change at the grassroots level.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a DBIA conversation without a little fun! Tom also shares a lighthearted gripe from the 2024 Design-Build Conference & Expo that you won’t want to miss.
