ITE Canada plays a vital role in advancing transportation practice through professional development, collaboration, and community building. As Treasurer, I will work to ensure the organization remains financially strong and strategically positioned to deliver high-impact programs—such as training sessions and the annual conference—that support our members at every stage of their careers.

The Treasurer’s role is more than financial stewardship; it’s about laying the groundwork for long-term organizational success. I am committed to supporting initiatives that foster innovation, reflect emerging trends, and reinforce the fundamentals of transportation engineering, planning, and design. I also see this position as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to ITE Canada’s strategic direction by working closely with the Executive and Board to ensure our financial decisions align with the organization’s mission and long-term goals.

My journey with ITE began in 2010, and I’ve been fortunate to benefit from the organization’s resources and community throughout my career. Volunteering with the ITE Canada Training Committee has provided the opportunity to collaborate not only with enthusiastic and dedicated committee members, but also with the consultants and subject matter experts who deliver our training sessions. Working with such a supportive and engaged team has been a highlight of my volunteer experience and has deepened my appreciation for the value ITE brings to its members. The spirit of collaboration is what makes ITE Canada such a welcoming organization. To me, ITE Canada is more than a professional association—it’s a hub for networking, knowledge sharing, and leading-edge thinking in transportation.

Beyond ITE, I recently served as Treasurer for a local non-profit dance club, where I managed budgeting, financial reporting, and daily financial operations. This experience has given me a strong foundation in financial oversight and accountability. Professionally, I am a transportation engineer with experience leading complex projects that require fiscal responsibility, stakeholder engagement, and strategic decision-making. My background also includes public speaking experience through Toastmasters, which has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly and effectively—an essential skill for any executive role.

I’m excited for the opportunity to contribute to ITE Canada in this new capacity and to help shape a future that is innovative, inclusive, and member-focused. Thank you for your support.

I am excited to run for Treasurer of ITE Canada for the 2026–2027 term. I believe ITE Canada’s strength lies in its people, its programming, and its culture of inclusivity. As Treasurer, I will bring my organizational experience and enthusiasm to build on previous successes, inspire fresh engagement, and collaborate on a vibrant future for the organization. 

My ITE journey began in my final year of undergraduate studies when the 2014 Canadian District Conference was hosted near my alma mater, the University of Waterloo. That inspired me to enter (and win 1^st place) in the 2015 Joint Technical Presentation Competition for Students (hosted by the Toronto, Hamilton, and Southwestern Ontario Sections). Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege to attend or participate in nearly every national conference and countless local events—building invaluable connections and gaining firsthand insight into the ITE Canada operations.

My previous contributions to ITE helped to hone my skills in leadership, collaborative planning, and event delivery, and include:

• Six years on the ITE Toronto Section Executive Committee (2016–2021)—including my term as President in 2020.
• Member of the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) for the 2017 ITE International Conference in Toronto. 

Professionally, I bring ten years of transportation-planning experience in the private sector—leading multi-modal transportation projects and development-related traffic studies. I have also chaired workplace committees focused on diversity, equity & inclusion, mentorship, and social engagement. In 2023, I was honored as one of Canadian Consulting Engineer’s Top 10 Under 40 in recognition of my leadership and mentorship initiatives.

My vision as Treasurer, in addition to supervising the banking and bookkeeping functions, would be to:

• Advance further collaboration between Sections and Chapters – Facilitate leadership sessions between sections, sharing lessons learned and planning for the future;

• Foster engagement in technical session and workshops – Add a mix of formats for conference sessions and workshops with innovative formats – unconferences, fishbowl discussions and using interactive tools like Mentimeter, lucidchart, Slido;

• Develop opportunities for employers and employees to connect – Increase visibility of the ITE Canada Job Board  through additional mediums and cross posting with other industry networks.

Thank you for considering my candidacy. I welcome your questions and look forward to the opportunity to give back to the organization that has given me so much. Please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to discuss any ideas or feedback.

Cheers,
Kelsey
