The Commissions’ Roles in RTC and Flood Control Projects

Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Firken & Wolf, @ Summit Mall on Virginia in Reno
5:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDU: 1

Speaker: Ron Smith

The Project Manager has primary responsibility for project success, but is far from alone in the “accountability chain.” President Harry Truman kept a sign on his desk that said, “The buck stops here.” It referred to the fact that Presidents, CEOs, elected officials and leaders have to make critical decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility. Sparks Councilman Ron Smith chairs two commissions that oversee some of the most challenging projects in the region.
