Dawson & Associates

Our firm's founder Robert Dawson has more than 50 years of experience and leadership in federal water and flood control policy at the highest level of government and the private sector. Recently, he addressed the #Mississippi Valley Flood Control Assn.’s annual gathering, telling the assembled members, "Productive collaboration begins with strong relationships,” he told policymakers and stakeholders. Also speaking were Hon. Edward Belk, Jr, Director of Civil Works for the #Army Corps of Engineers #USACE, Maj. Gen. Jason Kelly, Deputy Commander for Civil & Emergency Operations, Maj. Gen. Kimberly A. Peeples, Commander of the Mississippi Valley Division and MVFCA EVP Stephen Gambrell.

Our colleague Jimm Rich headed contracting for 3 US Army Corps of Engineers districts before joining us. He explains why a new GAO report on federal contracting is important for anyone seeking to protest a contract award #FederalContracting #USACE

Our colleague Gen. (Ret) Rick Stevens shares why major media organizations (Bloomberg, NYT, ENR) have recently reached out to Dawson senior advisor Mark Sudol. Mark ran the US Army Corps of Engineers #USACE Regulatory office and supervised multiple changes in federal environmental policies. #wotus #epa

The #EPA appears likely to change course significantly under the Trump Administration, with possibly significant changes to water and environmental permitting rules. Bloomberg asked our colleague Mark Sudol, who headed Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory, for his take on likely impacts #wotus #USACE

A Veterans Day message from Dawson & Associates: Each year on Veterans Day, we pause and honor the men and women who have proudly served our nation in uniform. Veterans have defended American values of freedom and democracy from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts. Their service has established and reinforced the principles of liberty, citizenship, and justice that America holds at its core. Today, there are about 18 million #Veterans across the nation. People who once proudly wore a military uniform going about their days, forged by the experience of having been a part of something greater than themselves, yet expecting nothing more than a fair playing field and a government that lives up to its promise to care for those who have served and for their families, caregivers, and survivors. So, thank you, and cheers to our Dawson Veterans! We’re proud of what you do every day to make our firm successful. #VeteransDay #USACE
