Time: 4:00pm - 7:00pm

Location: Huntington Beach, CA 

Description: DBIA-WPR LA/OC Chapter Panel Discussion, OWNER READINESS FOR COLLABORATIVE DELIVERY.  Join DBIA-WPR LA/OC Chapter for a panel discussion. Success in collaborative delivery begins with a culture shift — and that shift must be driven by Owners and Owner Advisors. Alternative delivery methods like Design-Build and Progressive Design-Build don’t just require new contracts or procurement strategies — they demand a new mindset.

Please join DBIA-WPR LA/OC Chapter for a panel of Owners and Owner Advisors that are leading our industry in collaborative delivery. They will discuss the efforts to implement the cultural shift, key indicators of owner readiness, and provide a practical framework for implementation.

Speakers:

• Kevin Laut - Director of Construction Management, California State University
• Maryellen Westerberg - Chief Operating Officer, SacHealth
• William Reifsteck - Director, AECOM
• Jerry DeZern - Vice President, Citadel CPM
• Neil Murphy - President, OCMI
