Hello ITE Central Coast Community,

Feeling grateful for the successes this year with the recent joint meetings and looking forward to more fun, now that summer is here. Coming up, we will have a hybrid (in-person and virtual) vendor show at Ventura City Hall on Tuesday, July 18th from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. After a couple years off, we are planning a great vendor show with the latest technology and safety equipment. So please stay tuned for more information, as it will be a great opportunity to network and connect with the ITE community. Other events on the horizon include; the Western District Annual Meeting on August 13-16th in Portland, OR, and a joint virtual meeting with the ITE Central California Section in September.

Please let us know any suggestions or ideas on how we can make the most of the membership and community.

The new board is working hard to get more meetings/events scheduled (virtual, hybrid, and in-person). Stayed tuned for more information about the joint meeting at Cal Poly on April 13th and other section meetings, hybrid vendor show, and our annual fundraising golf event. To receive timely notifications of website posts, meetings, and events; please “Follow” our website (lower right hand corner of website). In addition, we will continue to send emails to our members.

This year we are focused on communication/collaboration, networking, younger members engagement, and professional development; and want to provide the “value add” for your membership. I am grateful to have you as a member of the Central Coast Section and want to engage more professionals (planning and engineering) and grow our section.

Please let me know any suggestions or feedback, about how we could improve our Section. In addition, if you want to get involved, please reach out to me. We do have some Committee Chairs that are vacant (Membership Chair and Younger Member Group) and would appreciate the involvement.
