With me today is the one and only founder of the Women In Trucking organization, Ellen Voie. Ellen is an internationally recognized speaker and authority on gender diversity and inclusion for women in transportation. She started WIT in 2007 after decades in the transportation industry and saw it grow from hundreds to now over 8,000 members across 10 countries! Women in Trucking basically represents women that design the trucks, build the trucks, buy the trucks, sell the trucks, own the trucks, fix the trucks, and drive the trucks! And I am sure you can include the brokers, insurance agents, safety and compliance industry, human resources, and more. Ellen, Welcome to the podcast!
