The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced that Expediter Services has renewed its Gold Level Partnership, helping the nonprofit organization advance its mission to encourage the employment of women in transportation and logistics, celebrate their success, and minimize the obstacles they face.
In addition to providing financial support, the company actively participates in the association. Jason Williams, president of Expediter Services, serves on the WIT board of directors. As well as in 2017, WIT teamed up with Expediter Services to launch an innovative program that served as a platform to assist in establishing 150 new women-owned small businesses within transportation. The program is over two-thirds complete as it has helped launch 114 women-owned businesses.
“Being a part of WIT has continued to bring value to us through the opportunity to network with talented people who are also trying to stay in front of our changing industry with all of its challenges,” said Williams. “The ability to be in working conversations with so many great people has certainly allowed our company to make better decisions. Our team at ES values the relationship that we have built over the years with WIT, and we are looking forward to doing our part to positively contribute to the important work that WIT does for the trucking industry.”
“We’re thrilled to continue our valuable partnership with ES,” said Ellen Voie, president and CEO of WIT. “Their commitment to helping women find their path to success in trucking is crucial to advancing our mission.”
