Thanks and Good Luck to Cindi Ptak!

The Florida Scenic Highways Program would like to wish Cindi Ptak good luck in the future and thank her for her years of service to the National Scenic Byways Program.  Cindi has been the National Scenic Byways Program Manager since 2007 and is leaving the Program to join Federal Lands Highway as Program Coordinator for the Public Lands Discretionary and Forest Highway Programs at FHWA.  Cindi has been an advocate of strategic planning to strengthen State and tribal programs, and in providing targeted outreach to grant applicants to help them become more competitive as they increasingly compete for limited program funding.   Cindi played a vital role in the most recent designation of America’s Byways in 2009.  She also led the award of over $110 million in National Scenic Byway Program grants to hundreds of projects in communities across the nation.

She will truly be missed.  Please join us in wishing her well in her future position and endeavors!
