Eno Welcomes 2024 LDC Students

The Eno Center for Transportation is proud to announce the 2024 class of the Leaders Development Conference (LDC). For nearly 30 years, the nation’s top transportation graduate students have gathered in Washington, DC to attend LDC and become Eno Fellows.

During this week-long intensive program, the Fellows meet with federal, state, and local officials, as well as public, private, and non-profit leaders across the industry. They get a first-hand look at how transportation policy is made, while engaging with leaders to discuss the latest developments and trends in the industry. For these Fellows, the program provides a pivotal opportunity to gain invaluable insights and develop relationships that propel their careers forward.

We are excited to announce the following Fellows will be welcomed in June as the Class of 2024:

“This is our first year back, after pausing and refreshing the program during COVID, and we were so excited to see all the great submissions, many of whom were nominated by alumni of the program. This year’s cohort is talented, passionate, and driven to make an impact in transportation, and we are so excited to welcome them in June. I really think it will be one of our best years yet,” said Chief Development Officer Karen Price.

The conference will run from June 2 through June 6, 2024, and be hosted right here in Washington, D.C. For more information on the program, news on current developments,  and how you can participate, please visit our LDC Program page here.
