To say I'm excited to begin my journey as ITE's next Executive Director would be an understatement. The opportunity to lead this storied institution after having been a member for so many years has me chomping at the bit, ready to come out of the gate at full speed. I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks, months, and years-and making sure your expectations and vision for ITE are being met. I'm fortunate to be entering this race with a new ITE Strategic Plan being released (see article on page 40). And I would be remiss if I didnt start my tenure as Executive Director without first thanking the previous holder of this title-Jeff Paniati, P.E. (F). Jeff has put this institute on a great trajectory. His industry knowledge and wisdom will forever be appreciated by ITE members, and the energy and commitment he put into his time has left us in a good place. He, along with a fantastic staff and leadership team-including Kathi Driggs and Colleen Agan, and former CTO Jeff Lindley, P.E. (F)-have handed over a prize-winning racehorse with a strong record of wins. I'm excited to take the reins! I'm also taking over at a time with extremely capable volunteer leadership in place: the energy and thoughtful guidance from International President Rosana Correa, P.O., PTOE (F), the experienced leadership of International Vice President John Davis, P.E., RSP1, PTOE (F), the visionary enthusiasm of incoming International Vice President Karen Aspelin, P.E., PTOE (F), and the industry leadership from our Past International President Beverly Kuhn, Ph.D, P.E., PMP (F). I am so incredibly blessed to be taking on this position with such great principals in place. |
