Executive Advisory Committee
The WTS Colorado Executive Advisory Committee is composed of over 20 senior professionals from public and private sectors across the transportation industry in Colorado. The purpose of the EAC is to create an enhanced intersection between EAC and WTS Colorado members to help empower, educate, inform, and provide opportunities for career advancement. We offer engagement opportunities and informal coaching or mentorship for members looking to work through professional or personal challenges or enhance their careers. The EAC is also dedicated to supporting students through senior professionals, connecting them with leaders who can offer guidance, insight, and encouragement as they navigate and grow in their careers.
Please reach out to Beth Tosti or Kara Swanson if you'd like to connect with the EAC. All EAC members are excited to serve in this capacity and welcome the opportunity to meet with you!
