他回忆说，山姆·哈苏恩（Sam Hassoun）是巴勒斯坦难民的儿子，他小时候逃到科威特（Kuwait），他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说，他回忆说。“没有人会授予您签证。没有人想要求你。”
但是哈桑发现作为一个工程师改变that. “With an engineering degree, you could at least survive wherever you go. There’s always a need for an engineer to build something,” he says. And once he became a U.S. citizen, he finally felt that sense of belonging.
现在，哈苏恩（Hassoun）努力为他被要求参加的每个项目带来同样的敏感性。全球领导联盟的创始人，他已成为许多希望减轻或避免重大争议的加利福尼亚机构的首选人。
Hassoun has positively influenced a number of projects by persuading C-suite officials to truly commit to partnering. He is a member of AGC’s Caltrans Liaison Committee to address the issues and opportunities. He is also a member of the Statewide Partnering Committee, comprised of industry leaders and California Dept. of Transportation leaders.
在加利福尼亚州长滩的15亿美元杰拉尔德·戴斯蒙德桥的替换项目中，“山姆在使所有各方在合作论坛上进行交流并取得了良好的进步，”。“他致力于与行业合作，通过沟通和统一关键项目决策者来最大程度地减少和最终消除项目主张。”
After earning his engineering degree in Ohio, Hassoun began his career with Bechtel, working on nuclear power plants around the country. After seven years, Hassoun wanted a place to call home. He found it in California, where Caltrans hired him to work on bridges in the late 1980s.
在洛马·普埃塔（Loma Prieta）地震之后，哈苏恩（Hassoun）被任命为卡尔特兰（Caltrans）的质量计划经理，在洛玛·普埃塔（Loma Prieta）地震后进行维修。他回忆说：“伙伴不存在。”他从头开始创建了文件和培训。
他意识到，那是他的真实呼唤。Hassoun说：“我于2001年离开，从事职业伙伴关系，试图影响和激发机构和建筑行业，以寻找解决法院外争端的替代方法。”“我的热情是预防争议与解决方案。我试图在一个项目中利用每个人的精力，专业知识和才华，以使其成为展示。如果项目失败，每个人都会失去。”
Kyle Larkin, senior vice president with Granite Construction, says that Hassoun recently got Granite and leaders from one of Caltrans’ districts together to discuss past project and lessons learned. “I’m not sure I have ever met anyone more passionate about creating this collaborative culture in our industry.”
