Following the Call for Nominations for the 2017-2019 Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers (CITE) District Executive Committee, there were two acclaimed positions – President and Vice President – and an election was held for the position of Secretary-Treasurer. Over the month that voting was open, from April 10 to May 10, a total of 500 ballots were cast out of 1,149 eligible voters, which represents an excellent and representative turnout. Thank you to the many members who took the time to participate in the election. Pursuant to Section 4.4d of the CITE Bylaws, a Tellers Committee of three ITE members in good standing from across the county – Mike Skene (Victoria), Garreth Rempel (Winnipeg), and Roddy MacIntyre (Halifax) – was appointed to review and confirm the election results. With the concurrence of the Tellers Committee, I am pleased to advise that Ryan Vanderputten has been ELECTED as the CITE Secretary-Treasurer for the 2017-2019 term. Congratulations Ryan! Ryan and the acclaimed members of the CITE Executive Committee – President Edward Soldo and Vice President Julia Salvini – with Past President Jen Malzer will be sworn into their respective offices at the CITE Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, August 2 from 8:00 to 10:00 AM during the Joint ITE/CITE 2017 Annual Meeting and Exhibit in Toronto. Please join me in thanking Nabil Ghariani and Pedram Izadpanah for standing for office. CITE and its members were fortunate to have such an excellent slate of candidates for this election.
