The KC Scout board of directors are always prompt with moving KC Scout forward. One director, Nicole Hood has worked at MoDOT for 29 years and 2 months in various roles including Planning, District Traffic, Design, Project Management and her current role as the State Highway Safety and Traffic Engineer. She joined the KC Scout Board of Directors during the Summer of 2017.  She has spent the last 7 years growing the “Buckle Up Phone Down” incitive into a nationally recognized movement. “MoDOT has given me the opportunity to make a difference and touch so many lives.  That’s what really has inspired me throughout my career.   I was empowered to lead engaging projects and teams and influence direction,” said Hood.

Her advice to KC Scout is to always maintain a positive attitude and keep smiling!
