2024 WTS International Annual Conference - May 8-10, 2024

Earlier this year we solicited applications for Chapter members that were interested in receiving funding support to attend the 2024 WTS International Conference in New Orleans. We'd like to congratulate Erin Musiol, who serves as our Chapter Secretary, for being selected to receive funding support. Erin will attend the conference this week, and she will share her experiences with us when she returns.

If you are planning to attend the conference this week, please email our Chapter Vice-President, Kristen Van Gilst, so everyone from our Chapter can connect in New Orleans! Several chapter members will be attending the Conference this week.

SAVE THE DATE - Tuesday, June 18

Add Tuesday, June 18 to your calendars to join WTS Charlotte Metro chapter for a Lunch and Learn with Iona L. Thomas, AICP, Chief Growth + Strategy Officer at McAdams.


Iona will present about how projects are often undercut by our own limited thinking. By challenging basic assumptions and thinking creatively about the unique opportunities along Trenton Road, the McAdams team was able to design a solution that closes a key gap in the trail network connecting to Umstead State Park with a 10-ft wide shared use path. This lunch session will take participants through the design, coordination, and approval processes McAdams navigated to get a first of its kind in North Carolina solution designed and out to bid. 


Networking will begin at 11:30 am with the lunch program running from noon to 1:00pm. A registration link will be emailed out soon!

In case you missed it...

Please check out our photos from our recent XCLT Trail Tour & Social and the Huntersville Lunch and Learn program. We enjoyed perfect weather for the Trail tour and both events were at capacity! Thank you for joining us and we look forward to seeing you soon at future events.

Student Outreach at UNC Charlotte

Sierra Haynes, Kim Krouskroup, and Noelle Arena from our Chapter visited UNC Charlotte to speak to middle school and high school students about careers in STEM! They had a great time and answered many good questions from the students.
