The APTF Scholar Engagement Committee is pleased to present its first webinar in the APTF 2020-21 Scholar Mentoring Program series. This interactive session will bring together representatives of APTA’s partner organizations to discuss the various ways that scholars can extend their networks within the public transportation industry. Representatives from the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO), the Women in Transportation Seminar (WTS), Latinos in Transit (LIT), and Young Professionals in Transportation will join a panel to share more about their organizations and discuss how scholars can get involved.
The two-part session will include a discussion panel, followed by breakout rooms where scholars can ask more in-depth questions and learn more about the work of the represented organizations.
