Greetings from the ITE Central Coast Section! We hope this will be a year of well-attended meetings with greater opportunities to interact with our fellow members and students. We have an exciting set of events and topics planned for professionals and students alike. As always, your suggestions for meeting topics are welcome and encouraged. We hope to see you there!
The planning stages have already begun for the 2012 ITE District 6 Annual meeting in Santa Barbara. I would like to thank Tom Mericle, City of Ventura, for his role as Local Arrangements Committee Chair, and Robert Sweeting, City of Thousand Oaks, for his continued dedication to the Central Coast Section as Vice-Chair. Local Arrangement Committees are in the process of forming. If you are interested in participating in this historic Section event, please contact Tom Mericle (tmericle@ci.ventura.ca.us) or Robert Sweeting (rsweeting@toaks.org).
The 3rd Annual Central Coast ITE Golf Tournament will be held this October. More details will be provided as they become available. As always, prizes will be awarded for Closest to Pin, Longest Drive, and Lowest Team Score. Bring your family and friends. We hope to see you on the course!
Proceeds for the Golf Tournament will fund the ITE District Meeting Student Scholarship. One industrious member of the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Student Chapter will be sent to the District 6 Annual Meeting in Denver this July. Student members will compete for the Scholarship at the ITE general meeting in May at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
The Cal Poly Student Chapter has again been very active this year. The Chapter meets Thursday nights to hear presentations from industry representatives and Central Coast ITE members about their latest projects. The Chapter also sponsors employer tours, the most recent to Northern California, so that student members may interact with prospective employers. A trip to Southern California is in the works. If you are interested in presenting a project to the Student Chapter, or you would like to host the students at your place of employment, contact Smadar Barasch (sbarasch@calpoly.edu), Student Chapter President.
Finally, I would like to thank the 2009 Executive Board, Dennis Lammers, Penfield & Smith – Vice President; Rob Eaton, Republic ITS – Secretary; Larry Tay, City of Thousand Oaks – Treasurer; and Anitha Balan, County of Ventura – Past President; for their efforts in making 2009 an exciting year. And a special thank you to Rick Gallegos – Webmaster, for his continued efforts in updating and maintaining our website.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meetings!
