| President's
Message |
District
6 Members,
This is my last President’s message before the ITE Annual Meeting in Anaheim and I am getting excited to see everyone again.
I had several goals that I’d set out to accomplish as President and as an officer of the Western District. Over the past year, we’ve made great strides. I’ll highlight just a few of our accomplishments in this message.
It has been one of my priorities to reach out to young professionals and potential new members. An ITE Group on Facebook has been created to reach out to young professionals and students, and to encourage any interested member to join. We have received new young professional members joining ITE as a result of the ITE Group. Also, a new Employer Recognition Award has been developed by the District Career Guidance Committee Chair, to recognize employers for support of young professional involvement in ITE Activities (young professional defined as an ITE member, 35 years of age or younger). In addition, our mentoring program has grown significantly and more than doubled in size since its inception.

Fund |
|
The Student Endowment Fund was established to provide a self-sustaining funding source for the Student Initiatives Program the goal of which is to attract the best and the brightest to the transportation profession in the west. In the past, these initiatives were modestly funded utilizing existing annual operating and annual meeting budgets which has limited the scope of the programs resulting in the use of operating reserves. The Board projects that the Endowment Fund needs to reach $500,000 to be self-sustaining enough to generate enough annual revenue to support the District's student initiatives. To date, we have made great strides towards meeting our financial goal with more than $130,000 raised for the Endowment Fund.
Visit the new District 6 Student Endowment Fund website at www.westernite.org/endowment to find out more about the fund or make an online contribution. While you’re there, find out more about the Student Initiatives Program, explore our photo gallery, or browse through our list of contributors. In addition to the new website, the District has also established two Endowment Fund awards that will be presented at each Annual Meeting to recognize the Sections/Chapters that contribute the most to the fund throughout the year.
