Transportation
Hosted by SASHTO 2009 August 28, 2009 Dear SASHTO Attendees, Welcome to the 2009 SASHTO Conference at Biloxi’s beautiful Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. We have convened transportation leaders from across the U.S. to discuss the challenges we share and to work cooperatively toward realistic, sustainable solutions. This is an exciting time in transportation—particularly in the Southeastern United States—and it is a privilege to be on the front lines addressing these issues. Our Opening Session promises to be especially timely and thought-provoking, and I trust you will make it a priority to attend and participate. Mississippi’s Governor Haley Barbour will welcome delegates and some of the country’s top leaders in the public and private sectors representing all modes as they discuss Freight Initiatives of the 21st Century. Transportation funding is on everyone’s mind as we reevaluate the Highway Trust Fund and examine other options for meeting the financial requirements of the U.S. transportation system. On Monday afternoon, Mr. Jack Basso will host a panel of funding experts to discuss the scope of the financial challenges ahead and potential new approaches to paying for transportation infrastructure and services. In all, nearly 100 distinguished speakers are contributing to the conference, with over one thousand attendees representing every transportation discipline and mode. I encourage you to actively participate, engage in meaningful debates on today’s transportation issues, and take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to network with others in the transportation industry. And of course, take some time to relax with colleagues and enjoy our famous Gulf Coast hospitality and the delightful accommodations of this unique venue. Welcome to Mississippi!

Vince Vance & the Valiants currently have record contracts on several albums with Waldoxy Records. Waldoxy is a subsidiary of Malaco Records, the number one independent record label in the world. In total, Vince Vance & the Valiants has recorded 20 singles, 10 albums of which two are number one hits: Bomb Iran of 1980-81, written during the Hostage Crisis, and All I Want for Christmas is You of 1989-2002, which was the number one country Christmas song and the most-requested song at Christmas each of those years. Vince Vance lost his home in Waveland, Mississippi and all its possessions in Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Reflecting on this he says, “I truly believe that the “bad” things are roses of wisdom handed to us by God. They arebarks on our tree of life. We can accept them and the lessons or we can have them scar us and let that define us.” Closing Event Tuesday, September 1, 2009 6:30 p.m. Hard Rock Hotel Mosey on down the Mississippi Blues Trail and experience the Blues Boyz.
