APTA Looks for Candidates to Fill Executive Committee Opening
Matthew Tucker, APTA’s vice chair-state affairs, has accepted a position with the North County Transit District in Oceanside, CA. While APTA congratulates him on his new position, it also means that he is no longer eligible to serve as APTA’s vice chair-state affairs; he formerly served as director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
The APTA bylaws authorize the Executive Committee to appoint a qualified member to serve the remainder of Tucker’s term, which ends at the APTA Annual Meeting in October 2009. The Executive Committee is seeking applicants for the position and is asking for help from APTA members.
According to the bylaws, the vice chair-state affairs must be “a State chief administrative officer or deputy chief administrative officer responsible for public transportation of a Member in good standing, or the chief executive of an Association Member in good standing.”
Persons interested in serving as APTA vice chair-state affairs, or who know someone else who is, can download the special nomination and authorization form at www.apta.com, fill it out completely, and e-mail or fax it to Jim LaRusch, APTA’s chief counsel and vice president-corporate affairs, no later than Jan. 30.
For more information, contact LaRusch at (202) 496-4808 or jlarusch@apta.com.
