PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to
Amelia Island!
By Dave Chapman, President, PDCA
Hopefully you are reading this while attending PDCA’s 21st Annual International
Conference and Expo 2017 – EXPEERIENCE at the beautiful Omni
Amelia Island Plantation Resort. I am confident your personal experience from
a technical, educational and networking perspective at the conference will be well worth
your time. I also hope that you have planned an extra day or three during your stay so you
can take advantage of this great property, chosen for the PDCA conference and your enjoyment.
Hang around and stick your toes in the sand or the warm Atlantic Ocean waters,
and all Amelia Island and Fernandina has to offer.
Gerry McShane and the members of the PDCA Education Committee have assembled
a great technical program for this year’s conference, including three prominent
industry keynote speakers: Kurt Nagle, American Association of Port Authorities; Silas
Nichols, FHWA; and Larry Harvey, NASA and CAST, and a great line-up of technical
session presenters. Additionally, PDCA staff assembled a phenomenal program, which
includes the exhibitor’s hall, attendee lounges, award ceremonies, receptions, entertainment,
committee meetings, companion’s program and more! Don’t miss PDCA’s special
presentation program luncheon for the 2017 Project of the Year Awards on Thursday,
June 29.
