DBIA is keeping the conversation going with a Bonus Content Episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, expanding on the insights shared in our January episode, "Looking Back, Building Forward: Kicking Off 2025 with Lisa Washington and Tom Foley."

In this bonus content, DBIA Executive Director/CEO Lisa Washington and DBIA National Board Chair Tom Foley (Commissioner, New York City Department of Design and Construction) talk about the power of legislative advocacy in expanding design-build authority across the nation. Tom reflects on New York City's hard-fought legislative wins and how DBIA's national support helped secure critical alternate delivery methods. Lisa explains how DBIA's educational advocacy equips regions and chapters with the resources needed to drive change at the grassroots level.

Of course, it wouldn't be a DBIA conversation without a little fun! Tom also shares a lighthearted gripe from the 2024 Design-Build Conference & Expo that you won’t want to miss.

If you enjoyed our January episode, this bonus content offers even more industry insights and engaging moments. Be sure to listen to both episodes to get the full picture of what's ahead for 2025.
