President's Message
Mountain District Members - Happy Fall! Man, September flew by. I hope you are all enjoying the start of a new season, back to school routines, cooler weather, and my favorite fall activity, football season!
Executive Committee Fall Leadership Retreat
Last week, your Mountain District Executive Committee (Danielle Scharf, Chris Sobie, Lisa Nguyen, Kordel Braley, Jenny Grote, Anabel Hernandez and I) met up in beautiful Reno, Nevada! We visited with the Nevada Section at their monthly luncheon (thanks RTC Washoe for hosting!), and took a tour of the venues for 2027 Mountain and Western Joint Annual Meeting. During the meeting Friday, we set priorities for 2027, ways to strengthen support for Sections and student chapters, and reviewed the draft 2027-2029 Strategic Plan.
New Members
Each month, our district community continues to grow with new members who bring new energy to the Mountain District. Please share the benefits of ITE with your colleagues, partners, co-workers, fellow students and alumni, and encourage them to join ITE! And for those that are new and maybe reading this for the first time – WELCOME! We are so glad you’re here. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
Looking Ahead
Although things are a little quieter now, we’re already looking toward 2027. Planning is well underway for next year’s Mountain and Western Districts Joint Meeting at the Silver Legacy Resort in Reno, Nevada, June 13–16, 2027. Registration and Hotel Reservations are available online, as well as Call for Abstracts, and Exhibitor and Sponsor Information. Check out the Annual Meeting page for all the details. Shout-out to the Reno Local Arrangements Committee for all the great work so far! It’s going to be a fantastic meeting!
Until we meet again next summer, I encourage you to stay engaged in your Sections, raise your hand for new volunteer opportunities, and continue fostering the spirit of the Mountain District community. Thank you for all you do for our profession and your community.
President, ITE Mountain District
