Trucker Buddy International recently named Alan Welborn as its new executive director, replacing retiring Randy Schwartzenburg.
As executive director, Welborn will be responsible for the operation, management, and fundraising of Trucker Buddy (TBI). With more than 17 years in the trucking industry and over 15 years of experience in management and sales, Welborn’s experience, combined with his operations management and over 10 years of event management, will play an important role as executive director of TBI.
“We have been fortunate to have Randy Schwartzenburg’s expertise and hard work directing us for the past nine years,” said Welborn. “He has dedicated his heart and soul over the years to making Trucker Buddy the best program he can and he will be missed.”
In addition to his nine years as executive director, Schwartzenburg has 25 years collectively working with Trucker Buddy, dating back to the inception of the program.
“I have enjoyed my many years of working with the Trucker Buddy family and it’s been one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in my career,” said Schwartzenburg. “I look forward to spending more time with my grandchildren and my family. Plus, I may find a little time to squeeze in some golf as well.”
