OTA LEADERSHIP This year’s convention will take place September 24–26 at Sunriver. Look for more details soon. OTA is also taking time this summer to explore ways to grow our membership and better understand what our existing and future members need. We’ve formed focus groups of members and non- members to discover areas that may be underserved, as well as discuss programs that would be beneficial. OTA is dedicated to remaining a relevant resource for the companies and individuals who are involved in the trucking industry. As needs change, so must OTA’s offerings. We rely on your feedback and involvement to point us in the right direction. Another aspect of this effort is for OTA to understand why some in the industry have elected not to participate. Is it something as simple as time constraints, or does the lack of involvement go beyond that? OTA members are our ambassadors to others in the industry. We want to be sure you have the tools and knowledge you need to discuss the benefits of OTA as you meet with industry partners who aren’t members. If there are things that we can improve on, never hesitate to let us know.   Welcome New Members of Q1—2018! G.A.W., Inc.
