858 ITS Australia has elected its board of directors for 2014, from a strong list of nominees.

ITS Australia chief executive officer Susan Harris said the Australian ITS industry was stepping forward to help produce a rewarding and successful 6456 ITS World Congress in 2016. “We had more nominations than Board vacancies, which is a sign that the industry is healthy,” said Susan Harris.

“A field of enthusiastic industry leaders were nominated and they contested the election in good spirit. We congratulate the successful candidates and we will welcome the unsuccessful candidates to re-nominate in future,” she said.

The new board of directors includes: president Brian Negus (Royal Automobile Club of Victoria); vice-president Dean Zabrieszach (4728 VicRoads); Graham Ackers (GHD); Gino Dompietro (Sinclair Knight Merz); Adam Game (6030 Intelematics Australia); Dr Glenn Geers (NICTA); Prof Alex Grant; University of South Australia); John Hawkins (729 Schneider Electric); Manu Hingorani (Department of Main Roads, Queensland); James Hurnall (Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries); Chris Koniditsiotis (7205 Transport Certification Australia Limited); Andrew Mehaffey (6722 Roads and Maritime Services, New South Wales); Jeremy Nassau (600 Transurban); Soren Tellegen (4984 Kapsch TrafficCom Australia/New Zealand); and Michael Watts (796 Transmax).

President Brian Negus welcomed new directors John Hawkins, Manu Hingorani and Michael Watts to their two year terms and thanked outgoing director Timothy Gosbell of URS for his contribution to the organisation.

“Under the chairmanship of Vice President Dean Zabrieszach, our ITS World Congress Organising committee is working with event manager MCI Australia to ensure that the 2016 event is even more successful than our first World Congress, which was held in Sydney in 2001,” said Brian Negus.

“We look forward to bringing ITS industry leaders from across the world to Melbourne to share their knowledge for the benefit of cities everywhere,” said Brian Negus.
