Dear Members and Friends of ABJ30: 

2020 is a year of change for the ABJ30 committee.  Not only will we have a new committee code with the TRB re-organization (see http://www.trb.org/AboutTRB/TADStrategicAlignment.aspx) and new faces with the upcoming rotation, more importantly, we will have a new chair.  I’m very pleased to announce that Mike Fontaine has been confirmed as the incoming chair for our committee.  He officially begins in this role as of April 1, 2020 but has been part of the committee leadership team for the past 6 years as both subcommittee chair and more recently Vice Chair.  I’m looking forward to the continued growth of the committee under his leadership!

The main committee meeting is scheduled for TRB Tuesday, from 8 am to noon in Liberty Salon L (M4), Marriott Marquis.  This is an in-person meeting only.  A draft agenda is attached and we hope you’ll be able to join us.  The 2^nd page of the agenda includes a list of ABJ30 sponsored activities, so please review that as you’re planning your conference schedule. 

Wishing you each the best in the new year and looking forward to seeing you next week-

Stacey
