The American Road & Transportation Builders Association has named Paula Hammond, former head of the Washington State Dept. of Transportation and now a senior official with WSP USA, to be ARTBA's chair for 2022-2023.
Hammond, whose election was announced on Sept. 28 at ARTBA’s national convention in Nashville, is the first woman to chair the association in its 120-year history. She was ARTBA’s senior vice chair at-large from 2019 to 2021 and earlier this year became senior vice chair.
