President's Message
Thank you so much for your interest in our club. We are the premier Transportation Club of Dallas/Fort Worth.
This will be our 69th year of service to the transportation and supply chain logistics industry. Our industry is broad and we reach a myriad of companies who
compliment us each day in keeping America moving. We welcome you and hope you will consider membership with our club.
We continue to promote our mission which is education, resources for our industry, networking and building relationships, mentor programs for rising
students interested in the supply chain, and offering guest speakers that give you different perspectives in our ever changing environment.
With the fundraisers we do each year and generous donations from sponsorship, we offer upcoming students the opportunity to apply for the scholarships we
award each June. These scholarships are given to students who are working toward a degree in supply chain, warehousing or any area of our industry.
We have all experienced turbulent times recently and it has changed our way of living, working and how we spend our free time. However, it has not changed the
transportation industries responsibilities to provide essentials to each of you every day. We had to reevaluate the supply chain demands and adapt to our new
normal. But know, we are here, and we will meet the demand. We have worked collectively with our partners, which is far-reaching to make this possible every
day.
We welcome you to our club. We are here to help you and your business move forward to the next chapter in transportation. Please feel free to reach out to one
of our officers or board members. We understand your needs and your frustrations. We are here with you and for you!
I offer a challenge to you, our board members and officers. We want to make this year the premier year of growth in membership, offer the most in scholarships to deserving students, and finally a network of people, industry leaders and executives to come together to provide resources for all.
It is hard to beat a person that never gives up! Babe Ruth
