Frito-Lay and Walmart have renewed their Gold Level partnerships with the Women In Trucking Association.
"The continued involvement of both of these recognized corporations provides additional resources to support the needs of our members," said Ellen Voie, president of Women In Trucking. "We are especially looking forward to developing initiatives that support our mission to bring more women into the trucking industry and provide resources for those already working in transportation."
Mark Rousseau, Frito-Lay's national logistics manager, was appointed to the Board of Directors last year. "We have been involved in WIT from the very beginning, and see this organization having a positive impact on the trucking industry, drivers, and our company's ability to continue to improve our driver diversity," he said. "WIT is also a great resource for us as we address the national driver shortage in the years ahead."
"One of our top priorities as a company is developing a diverse workforce," said Jeff Hammonds, vice president of Walmart Transportation, who also serves as a director. "Our partnership with Women in Trucking is one of the many ways we reach out to women and let them know about the great career opportunities in transportation and at Walmart. We are proud of our partnership with Women In Trucking and support their efforts to serve women who work in the trucking industry."
Women In Trucking was established in 2007 to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry.
