Sponsors
The Washington, D.C. Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (WDCSITE) is looking for your support in 2022. WDCSITE a fully volunteer-run effort that has increasingly bolstered its programming from mostly local area technical meetings to include:
- STEM events with local schools in many locations throughout the section
- Social events for sponsors and membership
- Diverse meeting locations and activities, including the Joint Technical Meetings with VASITE and YPT at Audi Field, bike tours, and picnics.
Nearly 20% of our section’s expenses are supported/enabled by Annual Sponsorships. The board and leadership has actively strived to refine and improve our website featuring our activities and distribute electronic monthly newsletters recapping our section activities. The section aims to hold monthly events (virtually and generally alternating between the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore areas), which typically draw 50+ transportation professionals to discuss key topics to our industry’s vitality, project successes, lessons learned, and insights from local agencies. The geographic area that WDCSITE covers includes Maryland, Washington, D.C. and northern Virginia.
