Candidate
for President
Monica M. Suter, P.E., T.E., & P.T.O.E., (M)
Senior Civil Engineer--City of Santa Ana, California
I am honored to have served as
your Vice President this year and to be nominated for President.
I first joined ITE at Michigan State University more than
twenty years ago and value the variety of experience gained
in both the public and private sectors since then. I currently
manage a traffic engineering team for the City. I have presented
and published several District and International papers.
As a board, we’ve made
important progress toward my "Vision and Goals."
For example, significant growth in the District’s
Student Endowment Fund has occurred which will help support
future student initiatives. Additionally, to give something
back to our members, we reduced registration costs for Portland’s
July 2007 Annual Meeting and the Local Arrangements Committee
provided an excellent, cost-effective meeting. This year’s
District meeting in August will be held in Anaheim, California
with ITE International. We look forward to seeing you all
there to expand your transportation network, worldwide,
and along with your fellow Western District members!
If each of us sets the goal to speak to young
students at least once a year, we will have more talent
to hire from in the future! And, for those employers who
support their experienced and younger employees’ involvement
in professional organizations such as ITE, transportation
employees know who you are and recognize that your organization
is on the cutting edge!
