IBTTA Golf Tournament September 13 Supports
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.
