President's Message
Just like that it’s June, and 2022 is halfway over. We have had a great start to the year, with lots of awesome programs and the fortune to gather in person on several occasions. I hope that you have been able to participate in many of our events this year. Between the State of TxDOT Address with Director Marc Williams (a joint event with COMTO), “Defend Your Destiny,” our Annual Awards & Scholarship Banquet, Lattes and Leadership with Sindhu Avalokita, or the WTS International Conference in Seattle, WA, I hope you have found value in your involvement with WTS.

If are not yet a member of WTS, please come out to our Membership Mixer on June 30 at HNTB in Fort Worth to learn a little bit about the One-WTS vision and mission, our Greater Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter, and ways to get more involved. For our members, I encourage you to bring a friend who is not currently a member. To me, one of the greatest things about WTS is the sense of family and belonging that I feel when I’m with this group of people. We are eager to share these experiences with all of you.

June is Pride Month. As an organization centered around the advancement of women and other underrepresented minorities in the transportation industry, creating a culture of inclusivity and belonging is at the core of our values. We are committed to creating a community where people feel comfortable being themselves and encouraged to share their unique talents with the organization. I hope you have had the opportunity, whether you are LGBTQ+ or an ally, to get involved and show your support for this community. This support does not have to end on June 30. We should always look for ways we can connect with each other and benefit from the experiences and unique stories from people with varied backgrounds.

I look forward to connecting with all of you at one of our upcoming mixers, technical tours or programs. Until then, continue to stay safe, take care of yourself, and respect each other. And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Caren Chambers, P.E.
