Programs. The backbone of WTS, our monthly programs facilitate member interaction with distinguished, thought-provoking speakers and current transportation topics. The programs are an intimate opportunity to engage transportation leaders and other members in discussions about the most vital transportation issues of the day.

Networking. Networking opportunities are a central offering of WTS Minnesota. We host several events throughout the year—including casual happy hours, a summer social, and a holiday party—to facilitate informal opportunities for members to expand and strengthen their networks.

Professional Development. WTS Minnesota fosters professional development by offering a diverse mix of contacts within and across transportation sectors. We provide specialized professional development training each year to our members, with recent topics including effective feedback, personal branding, and communication.
