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.
