Thomas R. Carper: “We are trying to change the narrative, change the culture where it is a true profession, it is a great, noble…”

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

I want to thank our members for being here today.

If I had known--as you know, the breadth of the issues that we cover in this Committee are enormous. It is impossible for any of us to fully master each of them.
