Leading Through Changes

ABSTRACT

An interview with Jenn Conley, director of Vermont Transportation Systems, VHB South Burlington, VT, USA is presented. Conley said that my role as Director of Vermont Transportation Systems at VHB includes a lot of variety. In our office, Transportation Systems encompasses all aspects of Traffic Engineering. I am leading efforts in traffic operations analysis, traffic signal designs, traffic safety, and transportation planning efforts. Our group is small enough that I have a balance of the administrative duties involved in managing a group of professionals and I can still be actively involved with technical work. The pandemic definitely created challenges and forced us to find creative solutions to being able to reach our membership. The New England Section saw benefits from the move to virtual meetings. There was increased attendance at local state Chapter events.
