ITS (UK) holds its seventeenth Annual General Meeting
ITS (UK) Foundation Members Amey hosted the seventeenth Annual General Meeting of the society in Birmingham on 3 June. Members reflected on the successes of the past year, particularly the ITS (UK) stand at the 2009 World Congress in Stockholm, and considered how best to steer the society into the next few years of public financial austerity. With a solid financial base and the enthusiastic support of so many of the UK’s leading ITS experts, ITS (UK) is well placed to communicate the message that investment in intelligent transport systems provides excellent value for money in terms of mobility, safety and security. This will be particularly important as public expenditure is reined back and demonstrable value for money becomes even more crucial when deciding how to spend the public money available for transport expenditure.
The Officers and Directors of ITS (UK) were all re-elected with the exception of Penny Ford of Serco who had decided to step down as Marketing Director. They are now:
Chair Mike Schofield Atkins
Vice Chair Jeremy Evans TfL
Membership Director Adrian Withill Scott Wilson
Finance Director Silke Elvery TfL
Marketing Director Brian Fitzpatrick EC Harris
Technical Director Theo Quick Logica
International Affairs Richard Harris Logica
Ambassador Eric Sampson Newcastle University
