As a nonprofit organization, TRU is overseen and managed by our Board of Directors. This volunteer group of hardworking transit supporters from across the region oversees TRU’s policy priorities, our budget and finances, our legal issues and ethics, and otherwise ensures that the donors who fund us and the taxpayers (who support indirectly through our tax-deductible status) are well served by our work.
In November, TRU held an open call for nominations for new Board members and carefully vetted those applicants. Our Executive Board and our full Board of Directors is pleased to recommend the following slate of individual to join the Board:
- Michael Bridges, Farmington Hills City Council member
- Chris Khorey, Urban Planner with McKenna
- David Norwood, Sustainability Manager for the City of Dearborn
- Susan Titus, Wayne State professor of Social Work / Community Organizing
- Erik Tungate, City Manager of Oak Park
At our Annual Meeting January 28, current TRU members will be invited to vote to approve this slate for 2013-2015. Please review our Becoming a TRU Board Member guide to learn more about our Board and the process for joining.
