Executive Committee

The EC shall act in the interest of all NLTAPA members in a manner that is ethical and unbiased towards any particular Region, group of Centers or NLTAPA member. The EC shall consult frequently with the membership before effecting any significant organizational change or taking any action that may affect the operation of Centers. The NLTAPA EC shall have the power to make all decisions regarding the operation of the NLTAPA except for those decisions specifically reserved to the membership under these by-laws. Powers of the EC shall include but are not limited to: developing NLTAPA strategic plans, work plans, and operating budgets; appointing and charging chairs and members of standing committees, work groups, and special committees; representing the views of NLTAPA membership to FHWA and other external entities; negotiating memoranda of understanding with partner groups; collecting dues and recommending dues changes to the membership. The EC may call for a vote of the membership on any matter it deems of great significance. The EC may, with advice from member centers, represent the opinions and positions of its membership to FHWA. Activities of the EC on behalf of all Centers shall not preclude the ability of any individual Center or group of Centers to contact the FHWA LTAP/TTAP Program Office directly in its/their own interest.
