InfrastructureUSA.org is a non-profit, online community whose mission is to bring together infrastructure experts, industry leaders, government officials and most especially interested citizens, to participate in vigorous conversation and generate action to address the U.S. infrastructure crisis.

The 6th annual National Infrastructure Week is a national week of events; media coverage; and education and issue advocacy to elevate infrastructure as a critical issue impacting America’s economy, society, security and future.

In 2018, hundreds of organizations and thousands of leaders are uniting around one message: The future won’t wait. Neither can we. It’s #TimeToBuild.

During Infrastructure Week, organizations and individuals around America  – from local businesses, trade associations and chambers of commerce to mayors and individual citizens – host events, tour new and innovative projects, talk about infrastructure in national, local and social media, and show policymakers at all levels of government the breadth and diversity of support for long-term, sustainable infrastructure investment.

If you, your business or your organization wants to participate in Infrastructure Week, there are three ways to do so:

• As an affiliate: help get the news out about events, stories and media generated throughout the week
• As an event host: plan and host Infrastructure Week event
• As a storyteller: tell your infrastructure story and let the IWeek network share it
