UFI Infrastructure Week 2023: How To Get Involved
February 21, 2023
Dear Colleagues,
Last month we announced that Infrastructure Week is returning in 2023 – from May 15-19 we’ll be celebrating the nation’s roads, rails, pipes, ports and more, as we highlight the implementation of projects made possible by the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. With over $195 Billion in funding deployed to every single state and territory, the BIL is creating high quality jobs and connecting communities; that’s why this year’s Infrastructure Week theme is #InfrastructureWorks.
If you’re brand new to Infrastructure Week or maybe participated in the past but took a few years off, we want to introduce you to all it entails and share some more information.
Who Participates?
Any organization, business, non-profit organization, government or elected official who has an interest in supporting infrastructure can participate. Over the years, hundreds of organizations have celebrated Infrastructure Week in their own way.
Past participants include:
Water utilities
Engineering firms
Airports
Members of Congress
Mayors and City Halls
Labor unions
Workforce agencies
Local Chambers of Commerce
Chapters of the American Society of Civil engineers
Think tanks
Non-profit organizations
Governors and State Houses
County Commissioners and Supervisors
Companies in adjacent sectors and more.
How to Get Involved
Getting your organization involved in Infrastructure Week is simple – just sign up at our website, unitedforinfrastructure.org and tell us what you’re planning (even if some of the details are TBD right now). There is no fee for participating.
Your organization can choose your level of engagement in Infrastructure Week. It can be as simple as social media posts or as big as a series of events. Some people pitch interviews with local press or place op-eds. Others open their facilities for tours to the public or the media. Some people find Infrastructure Week to be a good time to release a video about their infrastructure project, or bring an elected official in to see how your infrastructure project is benefitting taxpayers and local residents.
We only ask that you share the details of your plans so we can help amplify your event via our calendar and on social media. The United for Infrastructure calendar will be THE central hub for infrastructure events and a great way to get more attention for your work, so please be sure to sign up on unitedforinfrastructure.org.
Questions? Email Ross@acceleratoraction.org. We’re excited to see what you come up with for Infrastructure Week 2023!
Thank you for your continued hard work!
