Inaugural DOT Civil Rights Symposium: Speaking With One Voice

The Departmental Office of Civil Rights extends a heartfelt thank you to all those who participated in the inaugural DOT Civil Rights Symposium on September 26-27, 2012. The contributions of our many attendees, speakers, presenters, and volunteers made the event a true success. In keeping with the spirit of the Symposium, and our ongoing efforts to “Speak With One Voice” on the very important topic of Civil Rights, we have made the Symposium PowerPoint presentations available below. Please note that not all presenters utilized PowerPoint slides during their sessions, and the list below is representative of the presentations that were provided to us by the speakers.

Additionally, all Symposium plenary and breakout presentations were video recorded and will be made available at a future date once captioning has been completed and 508 compliancy verified.
