Kline Selected for 2014 APWA Emerging Leaders Academy

GBA roadway engineer Rob Kline was selected for the 2014 class of the APWA Emerging Leaders Academy.

The academy is a national, year-long program providing intensive leadership and management training within the context of public works. In addition, it provides participants with opportunities to network with peers from around the country. Rob is the first engineer from GBA selected for the prestigious group, which will be in its seventh year.

“Through the ELA, I hope to continue to develop my leadership skills,” says Rob. “I think this is a great opportunity to meet and network with other young professionals from all over the country and learn about their diverse experiences with leadership and specifically how they use it within the field of Public Works. I hope to use the information and tools that I learn from the class to become a more dynamic leader as I get more opportunities in leadership roles at GBA.”

An Iowa State grad, Rob has been with GBA since 2006, and is P.E. in both Kansas and Missouri. His resume includes projects with KDOT, MoDOT plus several counties and municipalities.
