A Message From The President
Welcome to Gateway ITE!
Welcome to the Gateway Section ITE home page!
GSITE welcomes transportation and traffic engineers, urban planners, GIS specialists, CAD designers, and all those involved in improving our communities to learn, network, and grow in this ITE community. We hope you join us for a monthly meeting, our Annual GSITE Conference, a social event, or Young Professionals activity!
This year, I’d like to incorporate a theme into our activities and discussions, and the theme will be Leadership. I believe we are all leaders: within our individual circles of influence, in our own unique styles, and at different levels of maturity and skill. And it’s something we all strive to further develop as we look to advance in our careers. So let’s talk about it! Let’s assess our own abilities and work together to understand and grow these important skills.
Join me in reading Jody Michael’s “Leading Lightly: Lower Your Stress, Think with Clarity, and Lead with Ease (2022)”. This book made Forbes’ list of leadership books for 2024, and I picked it because I think our “mental fitness” is so important to leading well. How we respond to the ever-growing pressures and challenges each day, moment to moment, is critical for making the best decisions, maintaining relationships, and growing your influence. At any time this year, email me if you’re interested in this opportunity.
In 2025, we will proudly continue the Next Generation Speaker Series and accommodating all dietary needs at our meetings. Please let me know how we can accommodate you. We’d like to shine new light on networking and sustainability: at our meetings, please bring a name tag (we’ll have one for you too) and sit by someone new! Also, let’s cut down on single-use plastics and remember to bring your reusable water bottles.
Cheers to a great year with you all!
Kelly Schaefer, P.E., PTOE
Gateway ITE President

As part of MOVITE’s Strategic Plan, the Board has identified various task forces to improve the operations and goals of our organization. These task forces and subsequent committees will allow members to engage in and become involved in the District in specific areas of interest without a huge time commitment.
(1) Young Member Outreach and Retention Task Force: This task force will create a committee to explore and recommend strategies for improved Young Member outreach, engagement, and retention. It is presumed that this committee will also work in collaboration with MOVITE student initiatives.
(2) Local Arrangements/Technical Meeting Task Force: This task force will create a committee to assist with conference planning in order to allow better quality, more strategic, and more intensive meetings while allowing the LAC to focus on venue, tours, social events, etc.
(3) Awards and Recognition Task Force: This task force will work to create a committee that will develop strategies to generate excitement and emotion around the District awards for both professional members and student members in hopes to increase the number of submissions.
If you would like to volunteer for one of these task forces, please email MOVITE President Kendra Miller at kmiller@gbateam.com and specify which task force(s) you would like to join.
