Washington, D.C.—The former vice chairman of the Inland Waterways Users Board (IWUB) expressed confidence the critical role the board serves will be recognized by a review ordered by the Department of Defense.
Michael Monahan, a member of the Campbell Transportation Company Inc. board, also predicted the current suspension the IWUB is under will be rapidly lifted.
That suspension and “zero-based” review were ordered by newly confirmed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who included a list of more than three dozen advisory boards in a memo dated January 30.
An IWUB meeting previously scheduled for February 9 was canceled, stated an announcement posted on its website.
