ABJ30 Members and Friends,
I am pleased to announce that Ben Stabler, Senior Modeler
for Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), is now a Member of our Committee. He is
planning to attend our “Summer in
And of course, if is never too soon to start planning for
the 2010 Annual Meeting. I received the following notice regarding the consequences
of the Hilton remodeling plans – TRB staff are telling us they will need
to:
·
Reduce each
committee’s allotment from 2.3 sessions down to 2.0 sessions
·
Increase the number of
papers presented in poster sessions
·
Move the Human Factors
workshops to Saturday
·
Shift events/meetings
of some Hilton committees to the Marriott or Omni Shoreham Hotels (affected
committees will be informed shortly)
·
Maximize usage of
evenings (especially Sunday and Wednesday) and Thursday morning
·
Limit most committee
meetings to one 105 minute time slot. For those committees needing additional
meeting time, TRB staff will work with the committee chairs to explore
available options. These may include scheduling all or part of the committee
meeting on evenings and Thursday, and/or scheduling follow-up conference calls
or web-based meetings.
More on this soon – in the meantime, I want to
encourage everyone to make the August 1st deadline for submitting
papers (please check the TRB website http://www.trb.org/news/blurb_detail.asp?id=10482)
– we will also be looking for qualified reviewers from our Committee Members
and Friends –
Have a wonderful 4th!!!!
Regards,
Kate
