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.

2007 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Committee Strategic Plan
Yes
No
Goal # 1: Develop session topics that involve international or
bi-lateral issues for the 2007 Annual Conference in
Sacramento.
Measure of Success: 6 of 8 approved ITC sessions for Sacramento
will have content that has application for Canadian and other
members.
The remaining two are the “Federal Agency Update”, “AASHTO
Update”, and even those probably have some relevance for right of
way professionals from Canada, South Africa, Japan and others.
19
2007 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Committee Strategic Plan
Yes
No
Goal # 2: Present ITC sessions for the 2007 Annual
Conference in Sacramento that deal with issues in several
transportation modes (not just highways), as well as at
least 1 session on communications/negotiations.
Measure of Success: 7 of our 8 approved ITC sessions for
Sacramento have “multi-modal” or
communication/negotiation applications.

and we were successful in getting 8 ITC sessions approved
for Sacramento.
(B) The ITC is continuing to develop our current list of
Chapter Transportation Chairs. Our first e-mail
broadcast to the Chapter Chairs went out in early 2006.
This is planned to be a large part of our outreach efforts
following sub-committee re-structuring.

taken the lead and have enlisted four International
Committees as co-sponsors of educational sessions for
Sacramento.

beyond. This is an excellent outreach opportunity and we
suggest that IRWA develop a strategy for having a
presence at similar Annual ROW Workshops across the
country.

27
What’s working well……………
1. Keeping a broad Transportation focus
Our current membership is diverse:
9 government employees
8 ROW consultant employees
1 retiree
Six of our 8 Sacramento sessions have
cross-functional 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 subcommittee
Difficult to measure the value of our presence at
national and regional ROW events
Need strategic committee guidance from IEC
Our communication subcommittee must take the
lead working with Chair & Vice Chair for effective
implementation.
