Central Florida Chapter,
NEWS FLASH
The window for voting on the Institute’s 2007 international officers is almost open. E-balloting—and for those requesting a paper ballot—will commence on June 29th and close on July 27th. See the ITE home page (http://www.ite.org) for more information.
Purpose
The ITE Central Florida Chapter was formed to provide a local forum for transportation professionals to meet and exchange information on a regular basis. The Chapter has nine goals:
1. Advance the objectives of the Institute.
2. Foster closer associations among the Institute members.
3. Encourage members to prepare and present papers;
4. Prepare suggestions on matters of policy to the Board of Direction of the Institute.
5. Consider local transportation engineering and planning problems and present advice and comment consistent with established Institute policies.
6. Foster closer association and cooperation with local individuals and groups on matters of common interest.
7. Encourage transportation engineering and planning education in colleges, universities, and technical schools in the Chapter area;
8. Encourage high school and post-secondary students to enter the transportation engineering and planning professions.
9. Encourage and support continuing education courses and programs in the areas of transportation engineering and planning.
Membership
Persons employed in the field of transportation engineering and planning, and allied fields, are eligible for membership in or affiliation with the Chapter. Annual dues are $10 (cheap!). Members get a $2 discount on our monthly meeting registration (with RSVP). Attend more than ten meetings a year and you come out $2 ahead. In what other local chapter can you actually make money? We encourage (but don’t required) you to also be a member of the Florida Section.
Meetings
The Chapter holds meetings generally on the second Tuesday
of each month at the FDOT Orlando Urban Office,

Election for this year’s officers was held in February, but we are still looking for chairs who want to help the Chapter grow. Would you like to help to organize our monthly luncheon meetings or edit a newsletter? Please consider volunteering as your time and effort will bring returns many times greater than the investment! Contact Gary if you are interested.
Stay tuned!
