Women In Trucking Vice President named to Wreaths Across America Board of Directors

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced that its vice president, Debbie Sparks, has been named to the Wreaths Across America board of directors. Her nomination was unanimously accepted on May 13, 2021.

The mission of Wreaths Across America is to remember, honor, and teach about veterans. While veterans’ wreaths move by planes, trains, and livestock trailers, professional drivers and trucks transport most of the fresh, balsam-fir wreaths to more than 2,500 participating locations and Arlington National Cemetery.

Sparks was named vice president of WIT in January 2020 and has been actively leading a number of initiatives, including WIT’s driver ambassador program, launching the association’s local chapter program, streamlining a mentorship program, and several other initiatives.
