It was a packed house for the Opening Session on Monday afternoon.
Reilly McCarren, OLI Board Chairman, welcomed everyone to the 16th International Symposium and Training Seminars. Helen Sramek, OLI President, followed by giving an overview of the major accomplishments since the last Symposium in 2008. An upbeat video presentation highlighted some of the states' major accomplishments and projects.
The Headline Speaker, Deputy Secretary John Porcari commended Operation Lifesaver for the great work they’ve done, and he offered particular thanks for their participation in our campaign against distracted driving throughout the transportation industry.
Keynote Speaker, Deborah Hersman, Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said in her speach: “30 years ago there were 9,500 crossing incidents. In 2009 there were fewer than 2,000. OL can rightly claim credit for saving many of those lives."
From the looks on the faces of these two attendees, the Opening Session was well received!
