The future of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the direction and course of its programs
and activities are greatly influenced by the leaders you elect to represent you. The ITE Nominating
Committee has nominated the following candidates for the offices of International President and
International Vice President for 2018:
For International President:

Bruce Belmore, P.Eng., PTOE, AVS (F)

For International Vice President:

Jason Crawford, P.E. (F)
Randy McCourt, P.E., PTOE (F)

The Election Ballot will open on February 14, 2018 at 12:01 a.m. ET and will close at noon ET on
Thursday, March 15, 2018. Written consent to hold office, if elected, has been received from each candidate.
The publication of this notice complies with Article V of the ITE Constitution.
I encourage you to become familiar with the qualifications and visions of the candidates and exercise
your right to shape ITE's future by casting your vote to select the 2018 ITE International President and
International Vice President. The enclosed flyer has a brief resume and statement from each of the
candidates. You can learn more by visiting the candidate websites at www.ite.org/candidates and by attending
either the virtual Town Hall on January 30, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. or the Facebook live event at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Please note, the length and time frame of the 2018 International President and Vice President campaign
and balloting period has changed from previous years as a result of the Constitutional Amendments passed
in 2017. New campaign conduct rules, for the candidates and ITE members, have been established by
the Nominations Committee and are available on the ITE website at www.ite.org/candidates. I encourage
all members to take a few minutes to become familiar with these new time frames and rules. With the
early election of candidates, members will be provided with increased electronic and virtual candidate
information. In lieu of campaigning at District and Section meetings, the election will conclude in time for
the successful candidates to attend these meetings as International President-elect and Vice President-elect.
Once you have decided for whom you wish to vote, you may vote either by e-ballot or by mail. To vote by
e-ballot starting February 14, 2018, 12:01 a.m. ET, eligible voters will be sent an e-mail with a personalized
URL enabling them to vote. You must cast your e-ballot no later than noon ET on March 15, 2018. You will
receive an e-mail confirmation of your vote. If you wish to vote using a mail ballot, you must request a ballot,
in writing, no later than February 18, 2018 by e-mailing Marianne Saglam at msaglam@ite.org. Your ballot
must be received at ITE no later than noon ET on March 15, 2018.
Your vote will remain confidential. The election results will be announced on the ITE website on March 20,
2018 and in the April 2018 issue of ITE Journal.
Sincerely,

Jeffrey F. Paniati, P.E.
ITE Executive Director and CEO
