This year will be the first time in three years that we are bringing together, in person, hundreds of professionals from across VDOT, industry and localities.  
We know that reaching out to schools in your area can seem like a daunting task but spreading the word about the wide range of successful construction career paths and shifting the public’s perception of careers in our industry is vital to our longevity. 
The dates are set! Mark them on your calendar and look for registration and sponsorship information in the coming weeks!
  
This year’s Aggregate Producer Safety Seminars will offer a wide range of important safety topics. Along with presentations from industry and health care professionals, MSHA and the Virginia Department of Energy – Mineral Mining Program will provide updates as to what’s new with the Regulatory Agencies.
