IBTTA Golf
Tournament September 13 Supports
Next Generation of Tolling Industry Leaders
Next Generation of Tolling Industry Leaders
The natural beauty of Texas Hill Country will be yours to enjoy at
the IBTTA Foundation Golf Classic September
13, the day before our 82nd Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
Proceeds from this annual fundraising event support the IBTTA Leadership Academy, an annual program that gives the
next generation of tolling industry leaders the knowledge, skills, and networks
they’ll need to help build tomorrow’s transportation system. The
tournament takes place at the Barton Creek Golf Resort,
designed by Austin native and PGA veteran Ben Crenshaw and partner Bill Coore.
You’ll experience rolling hills, natural plateaus, soft contours and native
vegetation, all harmoniously woven into an interesting, playable championship
layout. Registration includes lunch and a post-tournament awards reception. To
register, contact Kathleen Davis at IBTTA.
