Conference Volunteers & Staff
The Lifesavers Conference Board of Directors is committed to planning and implementing the must-attend, most engaging, thoughtful and action-oriented roadway safety conference in the United States. To do this, we gather a network of dedicated volunteers spanning the depth breadth and diversity of roadway safety expertise. We meet regularly throughout each conference planning cycle to determine the best topics and speakers. These volunteers form the Board, the Lifesavers Planning Committee, and act as Track Leaders that pull together to approximately 80 workshops and plenaries. We contract with Meetings Management, Inc. to organize the logistics of the conference. We also contract with Tara Casanova-Powell to act as Lifesavers Conference Program Coordinator with oversite from the Volunteer Board and Committees.
