MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MICHAEL BRITTENHAM

President

Dear Members and Friends,
 

It is an exciting time for the Transportation Club of Seattle! As we celebrate 115 years, our club continues to grow, bringing together professionals from all corners of the transportation industry. I am especially thrilled about our Board of Directors—an amazing group of individuals who bring fresh energy, diverse expertise, and a shared passion for strengthening our transportation community. With their leadership, we are poised for one of our most dynamic years yet.
 

This year, we are expanding opportunities for engagement, learning, and networking. Our monthly Lunch & Learn series continues to feature industry experts discussing key trends like sustainable mobility, supply chain advancements, and cutting-edge transportation technologies. We are also planning exciting networking events including industry mixers and our annual golf event that provide platforms for building valuable relationships and partnerships among members within the transportation sector.
 

Beyond professional growth, our club remains dedicated to giving back. Through our scholarship program, our mentorship program, and our holiday charity event partnering with the Salvation Army, we continue to invest in the next generation and support our local communities. The enthusiasm and involvement of our members continue to drive our success, and I encourage you to take an active role—whether by attending events, mentoring, or volunteering for various committees.

With a growing and engaged membership, an outstanding Board of Directors, and an exciting year ahead, the Transportation Club of Seattle is stronger than ever.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to connecting with you all and making 2025 a year to remember!
