I read both Susan and Lee’s articles about the Board meeting and didn’t really want to repeat anything that they had already reported on. Yet, I do want to congratulate all our board members and guests who made the Summer Board Meeting in Sacramento a success. So much work goes into planning these meetings as we strive to bring you the latest issues and educational content that concerns our industry, and I believe we accomplished this mission again.

Over the last six months, we have been discussing the need to modernize the Associations’ bylaws, as our organization has gone through many changes over the last few years.

What a wonderful Board meeting we had Saturday June 21st in Sacramento! Once again your Association went all out, inviting fantastic speakers who presented a variety of information from insurance issues to CARB regulations and related legal strategies of all shapes and sizes. One thing is for sure; CCTA continues to grow in size, reputation and even national relevance in our fight with CARB and EPA. We also have gained industry respect through our positions and comments on the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, Electronic Logging Devices, Hours of Service etc..
I also wanted to give kudos to the staff, on another great job putting the meeting, speakers and food choices together. Read more
