MP O’Brien Winner, Joan Pope, and a National Conference preview podcast

September 21, 2020Press Releases, The Capitol Beach Podcastasbpa_ed

On the ASPN flagship show, co-hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham discuss the upcoming online national coastal conference, “Navigating Stormy Times“, with ASBPA Executive Director, Derek Brockbank. They discuss how a virtual conference will work, what some of the conference highlights will be, including plenary panels on how beach communities handled the pandemic this summer and how to increase diversity and inclusion in coastal STEM, as well as the opportunity to see every single talk – since they’ll all be recorded and available after the conference.

Peter and Tyler then talk to the 2020 Morrough P. O’Brien award winner, Joan Pope. The O’Brien award is ASBPA’s highest personal honor, and after a ground-breaking career in coastal engineering at the US Army Corps of Engineers, and years of dedicated volunteer service to ASBPA, Joan Pope is well-deserving of this prestigious award. Joan discusses her career, the changes she’s seen in the coastal profession over the years, and shares some thoughts on next steps for the field and its practitioners.
