Here are a few quick reminders for members regarding upcoming deadlines:
- If you have ideas on persons that are deserving of the District 6 Individual Achievement or Lifetime Achievement awards (background on these awards can be found on the District 6 web site under Awards) please forward those to either your Section/Chapter President or Past President so they can forward that person to the selection committee headed by Julie Townsend this year.
- Candidates for the District Administrator position are also being received as Wes Pringle will be stepping down from that position after nearly a decade of outstanding service to District 6. Please contact Rory Grindley before the end of the year if you are interested “Send an Email”, phone (253/798-7250) or mail ( Pierce County ; Public Works & Utilities Dept.; 2401 S. 35th St. , Room 150; Tacoma , WA 98409 ).
- Those sections or chapters in District 6 interested in hosting the 2009 Annual Meeting should submit an email to me this fall indicating your potential interest. This will be a non-California meeting and the selection will be made in June 2004 at the Sacramento Annual meeting. At this time I would like to find out which sections have interest in this meeting. More information can be found on the District 6 web site under future meetings. Selections are done five years in advance of the meeting.
- Abstracts for the District 6 Annual Meeting in Sacramento are due early in December – go to http://www.westernite.org/annualmeetings/papers.htm for more details about the call for papers.
- Speaking of Sacramento, the District 6 Annual meeting is scheduled for June 20 to 23, 2004 and a the local arrangements committee headed by Bob Grandy and Steve Brown are planning an outstanding event of technical and social programs for our members to get together and share ideas and information about our transportation profession. For those of you in the Northern California Section that have not been involved in an annual meeting, this will be a wonderful event and your support of your local arrangements committee is greatly appreciated – volunteers are always welcome!
- Section Reports are due April 1st and it is not too early for Section/Chapter leadership to begin preparation for these reports – remember Southern California Section not only won the best District 6 Section Activity Report, they also won the International ITE Award last year.
