“As a newly elected official, the field of Asset Management is new. What is clear is just how important asset management is for public officials to understand, and governing bodies to embrace during the budget development process. The focus is often on the initial investment in a new facility, and by broadly considering the total life cycle cost including techniques and best practices to maximize use of an asset over time, we can act as better stewards of public infrastructure. icInfrastructure provided a compelling and thought-provoking training in a way that truly engaged us, a mixed audience of public officials, nonprofit leaders, and utility operators.”
