Goal 3: Increase Recognition of TAPA Standards & Certification


What do you consider to be the most significant achievement in the last year?


Increasing the membership demographics to include additional members of the supply chain. We focused on additional carriers, logistic providers, and SSP members. This has provided greater depth to our knowledge leadership. By increasing these vertical industries, we have greater feedback on the future needs of all members.


On a personal note, what do you consider to be your best achievement for TAPA in the past year?


In 2018, we brought on three new members to our Board of Directors; Christian Huenke (Amazon), George Latsos (Brightstar), and Randy Bradley (HP Inc.). Adding these new board members has brought greater depth to the Board.


We’ve also responded to the memberships’ desire for additional professional development programming by enhancing our Webinar Series. These will provide continuing education for our members and a marketing tool to reach out to prospective new members.


THE YEAR AHEAD… In 2019, what are your % targets for growing: • Membership = >15% • FSR certifications = >20% • TSR certifications = >20% 2019 PRIORITIES…
