Two occasions stood out from the 2014 TRB Annual Meeting: first the session we co-sponsored entitled What Are Transportation Operations and Why Should I Care, featuring a very distinguished panel of leaders in transportation who are passionate about the field of operations. It was a terrific session organized by Nikola Ivanov and I hope that we can continue this conversation. Second, NITC sponsored a reception and it was filled with present and past students and friends and colleagues from around the U.S. and abroad. It is great to have the opportunity to meet (at least) once a year!
