Susan Otcenas
As a BTA Board Member and Washington County resident, I'd really like to
encourage other WashCo OBRA folks to come out and have your voices heard
at this meeting. The BTA has really increased it's time spent working
out here over the past year. Susan Peithman and our co-hosts at WPC and
1000 Friends have been instrumental in bringing WashCo transportation
folks together in a variety of formats and venues. We are fortunate to
have Susan working on our behalf.
This type of work often takes a long time to become apparent to the
riding public, so you may be thinking to yourself "Huh? I didn't know
the BTA works in Washington County. I don't see what the BTA has done
for me out here lately". I can assure you there's lots happening, so
come on out, listen to Andrew Singelakis, ask lots of good questions,
take the time to chat with Susan Peithman and the folks from WPC and
1000 Friends and become better informed on what your advocacy
organizations are working on on your behalf.
If you like what you hear, maybe you'll decide to voice your approval
with membership dollars. We can't do it all without your support!
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Susan
