The 560 ITS America Leadership Circle held its inaugural meeting Sunday morning, bringing together leaders from the public and private sectors to discuss how the broader community can work more closely together to solve transportation issues.

Founded in January, the Leadership Circle is made up of 30 founding members—a mix of private-sector companies, state DOTs and academic organisations. The brainchild of several active ITS America board members, the Leadership Circle was put together with the support of President and CEO Scott Belcher.

“We wanted to create a space where people can come together to talk about thoughtful policy without falling back on their preconceived ideas,” says Sabrina Sussman, vice president for membership and development for ITS America.

A full list of members is on page 21 of the program and exhibitor directory.

    An important strategic task every company must do periodically is review products and make sure they match the goals and direction of the company. In March, Vaisala, the global weather solutions provider, concluded that three non-weather road transportation products no longer match its long term strategy, and thus sold these products to another company. Vaisala says the change will allow it to increase its already industry-leading innovations, such as the non-intrusive road weather sensors, and the Conditio
