(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: As a graduate student studying Transportation Engineering who is also president of the MSU chapter of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE@MSU), I have a demonstrated interest and passion for transportation projects throughout Bozeman. In particular, I have participated in a wide variety of transportation-related discussions and projects, often involving biking or biking infrastructure, throughout the MSU area, working with both students and staff members at MSU and WTI (Western Transportation Institute). I have also previously served as a senator and later speaker pro tempore for the Associated Students of MSU. While serving in this capacity, I also was the student representative on the University Facilities Planning Board (UFPB). Both of these roles provided valuable experience that I believe will be useful as a member of the BABAB. References: Please provide name, phone, and email contact information for two references.

Outside of that, I see no conflicts and would love the opportunity to serve on the BABAB!
