Employer Councils

For 90 years, ITE has been an individual member organization providing transportation professionals with the knowledge, practices, skills, and connections needed to serve the needs of their communities. ITE also recognizes the importance of connecting with the organizations that the majority of our members work for—public agencies, industry, consultants—so that we can be in tune with the needs of these organizations as well as our individual members.

During 2020, ITE will be transitioning to an organization-based model for our Industry, Consultants, and Public Agency Councils.

The objective of these councils is to provide the private sector, consultancies, and public agencies with the opportunity to provide input on ITE’s programming and policies while also demonstrating their commitment to and leadership in the transportation industry.

These employer councils are independent but interconnected groups that serve to broaden and strengthen the bonds, engage senior leadership, and help the profession prepare for the future. Each council will have its own executive committee populated by senior level representatives from member organizations and representation on the ITE Board of Direction as well as opportunities to collaborate with the other councils. In addition, each council will have exclusive benefits for their member organizations.

The ITE Consultants Council will serve as a sounding board for the ITE Board of Direction on the strategic direction of ITE, provide a forum for collaboration among senior representatives from the member firms, and, working with ITE staff, identify and develop products and services of benefit to its member firms.

• Recognition as an industry leader through all ITE Communication channels at and the ITE Annual Meeting,
