The WTS Charlotte Metro Chapter is pleased to host Sue Schwartz, FAICP, City of Greensboro Planning Director, on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 as part of our virtual 2023 Annual Meeting.

Ms. Schwartz will present, "Things I Would Tell My Younger Self." She will touch on how, for women in the workplace, work life balance is more of a balance beam and less of a seesaw. It requires flexibility, strength, and a focused eye to navigate workplace challenges, family challenges, and the actual work. Ms. Schwartz will share lessons learned in the trenches and what she would tell her younger self in the midst of the journey.

We will also recognize our 2023 scholarship winners! To join us from 12:00-1:00 PM for the virtual Annual Meeting, register using the link below. Registration is FREE for members. We look forward to hosting you on January 31!

Please join the WTS Charlotte Metro Chapter in congratulating our newly elected 2023-2024 Chapter Officers! We are excited to have these very talented women serve in leadership roles to continue advancing our mission of attracting, sustaining, connecting, and advancing women’s careers to strengthen the transportation industry.

We'd also like to extend a huge thank you to the outgoing 2021-2022 WTS Charlotte Metro Chapter officers - President Samantha Schober, Vice President Lyuba Zuyeva, Secretary Erin Musiol, and Treasurer Amanda Vandegrift for their tireless work in advancing the Chapter mission and goals. We look forward to seeing you thrive in your continued and/or new roles within WTS.

There are many additional roles that support the Chapter activities throughout the year.
