ITS America Announces Call for Nominations for 2010 Board of Directors
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 - The Intelligent Transportation Society
of America (ITS America) is seeking recommendations for members to
serve on the ITS America Board of Directors. Nominations must be
submitted with a brief biography or resume by February 19,
2010.
There are three board seats open for election to represent the
public and private sectors on behalf of ITS America's membership.
All three are for three-year terms. ITS America's Board of
Directors consists of 19 members, each of whom is elected for
staggered three-year terms. Additional, non-voting board members
are ex-officio members and include the president of ITS America,
the board's immediate past chair, and representatives from ITS
America's colleague organizations such as the American Association
of State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Public
Transportation Association, Institute of Transportation Engineers,
and Transportation Research Board.
ITS America's Bylaws specify that "the composition of the
elected members of the board of directors shall result in a board
that represents the spectrum of current and emerging constituents
in ITS America." Uniquely positioned compared to other professional
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
that represent the range of providers, users, and technologies at
the center of intelligent transportation systems and services in
the country.
The board of directors:
-
Ensures the successful implementation of ITS America's vision and mission.
-
Serves as a focal point to discuss, develop, and promote a national intelligent transportation systems agenda.
-
Sets overall organizational direction and provides programmatic and financial oversight in support of ITS America's strategic objectives.
The nominating committee will present nominations to the board
of directors for its acceptance at its March 2010 meeting. The
slate of nominees will be presented to the members for election by
mail ballot in mid-March, with a closing date of April 16. The new
board members will be announced on May 4, 2010 during ITS America's
20th Annual Meeting & Exposition in Houston, Texas.
Members of ITS America should make candidate nominations for
the board of directors by February 19, 2010: Mr. Randy Iwasaki,
Chairman, Nominating Committee, c/o Laura Rogers, Director of
Membership Services, ITS America, 1100 17th Street, NW, Suite 1200,
