For Right of Way Professionals (Practitioners)

The Practitioner Forum is a platform for right-of-way professionals (practitioners) to learn best practices for managing their area of focus within infrastructure projects, enhance their professional careers, and reduce the burden often placed on those impacted by public projects.

For Those Impacted by Public Projects (Owners)
