E-Mail Group - Outreach
First E-mail Outreach contact (volume 1, Number 1)
from ITC sent January 18th , 2006 generated interest
and positive comments. We are creating up-to-date
contacts for our chapter and “community of
interest” database.
The 1st broadcast included basic committee
information (mission, current committee roster
and minutes from our Anaheim committee
meeting), and an invitation to communicate with
us on a variety of topics.

Goal # 1: Develop session topics that involve international or
bi-lateral issues for the 2008 Annual Conference in Austin
Measure of Success: At least 6 of the approved ITC sessions for
Austin will have content that has application for Canadian and other
members.
There are two standing sessions, the “Federal Agency Update” and
“AASHTO Update”, and even those probably have some relevance
for right of way professionals from Canada, South Africa, Australia
Japan, Korea and others. These sessions may be partnered with other
committees.

for Austin have “multi-modal” or communication/negotiation

IRWA members. We plan to participate again in 2007 and
beyond. This is an excellent outreach opportunity and we
suggest that IRWA develop a strategy for having a

What’s working well……………
1. Keeping a broad Transportation focus
Our current membership is diverse:
10 government employees
11 ROW consultant employees
2 retiree’s
1 member is from Canada
Seven of our Austin sessions have crossfunctional or multi-modal implications
We have industry reps in aviation,
highways, transit – Federal, State & Local
28
What’s working…. but can improve
1. Sub-Committee Structure
More interaction and involvement by
members of the sub-committees
More equitable distribution of assignments
More effective results - because the
Sub-Committee members take ownership in
their areas of responsibility
29
What’s working…… but can improve
2. Our Personal Project Initiative
On the positive side…….
The Personal Projects can contribute
significantly to the ITC’s goals and
mission, and to the Association as a whole.
They give each ITC member an opportunity
to contribute, and also gives them a
chance to pick the project.
We have some very worthwhile projects
underway.
30
What’s working…… but can improve
2. Our Personal Project Initiative
On the other hand……
Some ITC members either have not
committed to do a project
. . . Or have proposed a project – but not
followed through on their commitment.
We need follow through by our members
31
What needs improvement……………
We need to work on improving our 2-way
communications, developing more active
participation and getting effective feedback on
our performance.
This applies within the ITC…
between the ITC and other Committees…
between the Committees and the Regions...
between the Committees and the IEC
32
What’s working…… but must improve
1. Our Outreach Initiatives
Our Chapter Chairs E-mail Group was just
starting to take off – response was good!
However this effort needs work with
communication sub-committee
Difficult to measure the value of our
presence at national and regional ROW
events
Our communication subcommittee must
take the lead working with Chair & Vice
Chair for effective implementation.
