Data Nexus, Inc. is proud to announce that Dr. Robert A Scopatz has been named the 2002-2003 2nd Vice Chair for the Association of Transportation Safety Information Professionals (ATSIP).

The ATSIP, also known as the Traffic Records Committee, is a working group of the National Safety Council Highway Traffic Safety Division. The ATSIP exists to further the development and sharing of traffic records system procedures, tools, and professionalism. As a member and officer, Dr. Scopatz will be working towards achieving the organization's objectives, which include: providing a forum on traffic records systems for state and local traffic records systems managers; developing, improving, and evaluating traffic records data systems in terms of standards, policies, and applications; encouraging the use of improved techniques and innovative procedures in the collection, storage, and uses of traffic records data; and serving as a forum for the discussion of traffic records system programs of the National Safety Council, Federal agencies, and other organizations for the benefit of state, local, and international organizations.

The Executive Board is the administrative arm of the ATSIP. As 2nd Vice Chair, Dr. Scopatz assumes the position of Program Chair for the 2003 Traffic Records Forum to be held in Denver, Colorado in August. As the Assistant Program Chair for the 2002 Traffic Records Forum, Dr. Scopatz gained invaluable experience and insight into what makes a successful forum and what additional concepts attendees want to see in 2003.

Dr. Scopatz believes, "The Forum acts as an invaluable tool for public safety professionals to share ideas, technologies, and innovations. I am honored, as is Data Nexus, to ensure that the 2003 Forum proves to be an invaluable resource for transportation safety professionals across the US."
