WASHINGTON, DC, January 15, 2008 - The Nominating Committee is

societies and trade associations, ITS America's membership includes
and broadly mirrors the natural partnership of public and private
sector organizations, and within each, a dynamic mix of entities

the center of intelligent transportation systems and services in
the country.
