2008 Award Winner: Ms. Meredith Van Duyn
Meredith Van Duyn was presented the New Member Award. Jason, Meredith’s husband, was in attendance for the presentation. Three professionals nominated Meredith for the award. She graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s of Science in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University. She was very active in the NC State Student Chapter of ITE and after graduating, became very involved with the NCSITE Transportation Planning Council. She has worked diligently with the logistics of previous Mid-year meetings and the agendas for the Annual Meeting. She is the current chair of the Transportation Planning Council and has worked diligently over the last year with other Council Chairs to rejuvenate participation and energy back into the councils. Even during the months with limited attendance and participation, she has worked to ensure that the TPC will achieve everything that it has identified for the year.
During the day she can be found coordinating efforts for NEPA documents at Kimley-Horn where she has worked since she was a student. Very professional and results-oriented, Ms. Van Duyn is extremely motivated and committed to the impact and influence that NCSITE and ITE can have on the transportation profession.
