As you may have seen by now, I have advised the ITE Board of Direction of my intent to retire by the end of the year. This was not an easy decision, but after 40 years in the profession and 8 years as ITE Executive Director and CEO, it feels like it is a good time for a change, for me and for ITE. The opportunity to lead ITE has been a wonderful experience and a capstone to my career. I feel fortunate to have enjoyed every stop along the way in my career, from my start in the Federal Highway Administrations Highway Engineer Training Program in 1983 to today, but my time at ITE has been special. I've had the opportunity to come back to the technical areas-safety, traffic operations, Intelligent Transportation Systems-I spent much of my early career working in. I've applied the leadership skills I developed over a 32-year federal career in a new setting. Most of all, I have had the opportunity to work with an amazing group of volunteers at every level of the organization and a talented and dedicated staff. From International Presidents to student leaders, and everywhere in between, I have been awed and inspired by your commitment to ITE. |
