Emerging Leaders Council


 

ABOUT


In 1932, Texas Trucking Association was founded to protect the collective interest of the trucking industry and is dedicated to educating members and equipping them with essential tools to operate successful businesses. To further that commitment, in 2013 TXTA created the Emerging Leaders Council (ELC)—promoting the next generation of industry leaders. ELC provides an opportunity for members to network and learn through interactive trainings and immersive advocacy experiences ensuring that the industry has a strong leadership base to call on. Previous ELC classes have included executives, business owners, sales teams, financial analysts and a variety of other trucking positions within the industry.

The ELC is comprised of up-and-coming leaders from TXTA and SMA member companies. During the ELC class term, members develop business relationships and friendships, increase their knowledge of trucking, legislative, regulatory and political issues, as well as establish themselves as future leaders within the association.
