In order to continue the networking and educational opportunities, we are creating WIT Chapters, so you can meet in your local or regional area. Stay tuned as we work through the details on ways you can be more engaged by starting a chapter at your company, in your city, or maybe even virtually until we can meet in person.
Another way you can stay involved right now is to participate in the online Engage Platform on our website. It’s a way to learn, connect with, and find others who share your experiences. We are spending a great deal of time and resources to make this program more user friendly and interactive, so please log in and join us.
A long-term goal has been to have a Driver Ambassador program. We hired Kellylynn McLaughlin, a training engineer at Schneider. Her company agreed to brand her tractor and to allow her to work for WIT one week each month. Walmart donated a trailer which is currently being retrofitted into a mobile display for educational and professional visits to schools and events.
Walmart also approached us about recognizing top female drivers, so in 2020 we created a Female Driver of the Year program. Our first recipient was Susie DeRidder, who has four decades of experience as a professional driver and is based in Canada. We are currently looking for the next Female Driver of the Year, so visit our website to submit a nomination.
As the pandemic progressed into the summer and fall, we made the decision to move our Accelerate! Conference and Expo into a virtual event. This was not an easy task, but over 600 of you attended and participated. The response was very positive, but our plan is to see you all in person this year in Dallas in November.
Finally, in order to keep the momentum in the years to come, we created a succession plan and hired Debbie Sparks as our new Vice President. Debbie will work into the CEO position to ensure a smooth change in leadership in the coming years.
Remember, membership has its privileges, and all of our services, events, and resources are intended to support you, our members. This has been a challenging experience for all of us, but we want you to know that this year, you will have more opportunities to find value when you consider joining or renewing your membership at Women In Trucking.
