To prepare for the two leaders of the Burns & McDonnell Transportation Safety Team will present some foundational elements and lessons learned from early adoption of performance-based standards. The presentation will include what clients and consultants can do to prepare for this foundational shift in design practice.

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.
