SoCal ITE Members Represent in Keystone, CO

During the week of July 25, 2018, many of our SoCal ITE members were in the beautiful Keystone, CO for the Annual Western District ITE Meeting. We attended informational technical sessions, obtained great ideas from other ITE sections, and shared fun memories and experiences with our ITE friends.
