I was in Miami for the ITE midyear meeting “Making a Difference in Transportation Safety.” I continue to devote much of my efforts to safer transportation by developing and providing training, so I was pleased with this ITE focus. After the Monday opening session it was off to Charleston for the Southern ITE District meeting. Wow! They really integrate the students into the meeting! I was one of the judges for the student’s traffic bowl—the winning team received a $3,000 check! Wednesday morning it was off to Tulsa for the MOVITE meeting. MOVITE has an activity entitled “Making a Difference”, and they DO make a difference with their enthusiasm and program. ‘LEARNING’ and having ‘FUN’ were integral components of both programs.
Take some time to look at the pictures I have included with this update. I wish you were on the trail with me to see first hand everyone’s dedication and professionalism. Please let me know your concerns by e-mail or when you see me at one of the meetings coming up. The challenge for us all is to become more involved and help to “Strengthen the ITE team”. I hope you will help by making contact with a student chapter and talk to them about your professional experiences.  Upcoming Events

 My Vision for ITE
Strengthen ITE by helping to solve critical professional and societal core issues.
Gene will use his experience in education and training to help achieve solutions in the areas of safety, management & operations, designing for all users, and workforce development.
Strengthen ITE by working together as a community of transportation professionals.
Gene will help ITE provide member services to strengthen your local professional recognition. Gene wants to help you become more active in ITE at all levels. The stronger our membership is, the stronger ITE’s voice becomes. He will work within the ITE community, forming new partnerships as appropriate and with ITE’s global networks to achieve solutions.
Strengthen ITE’s global network of members.
Gene will provide more opportunities for international member involvement. Gene will use his experience with WIN to create an international ITE communications network. An ITE WIN network will provide more opportunities to share worldwide knowledge of transportation developments. This international networking will help all ITE members.
Strengthen ITE member communications and educational training.
These are keys to more members and more active members. Gene pledges to listen and respond to your professional needs and issues.
