SF Bay Area Section – Endowment Fund Challenge
The San Francisco Bay Area Section elected board members are challenging our membership to make a contribution to the Western District’s Richard T. Romer Student Endowment Fund to help achieve its goal of reaching $500,000 from its current balance of $440,000. Sections all over the Western District are banding together to “Close the Gap” in the Student Endowment Fund.
- The Student Endowment Fund was created ten years ago to provide stability to the Student Initiatives Program of the ITE Western District and help funds the following:
- Waiving ITE dues and District Annual Meeting fees for faculty advisors
- Waiving ITE dues and subsidizing District Annual Meetings fees for students
- Funding travel to district Annual Meetings through student competitions, student papers and projects, and the Data Collection Fund which exposes students to typical project processes used in the profession
- Sponsoring special events for students and professionals
- Subsidizing costs for the annual Student Leadership Summit, which will be entering its fourth year
Many members of our section began as ITE student members and by contributing to the Endowment Fund you are directly encouraging young students to pursue a career in transportation engineering.
The four of us will be contributing a total of $825 and are challenging our Section’s membership to at least meet the same amount. If our members contribute at least $825, then the Section Board will contribute $850 for a total of $2500. If each of our 440 members in our Section contributes $2, we will make our goal.
All contributions are tax-deductible and we hope your will consider furthering our student activities and initiatives by our June 3rd fundraising deadline.
