Being on the CLDA board has given me invaluable insight into the logistics industry. It’s helped me refine my strategies for growing Express Errands & Courier by connecting with industry leaders and staying ahead of key trends.

From attending our annual FMF conference to engaging in deep-dive discussions with industry experts, I’ve gained fresh perspectives that have elevated both my business acumen and leadership skills. As the Membership Chair, I’ve had the privilege of fostering new relationships and promoting growth within the CLDA community, which has been both rewarding and transformative for my own development.

Being on the board of the CLDA has opened so many doors for me over the past 2 years. I’m having discussions with other board members I never would have been able to have without this board position. The closer connections have helped me navigate through some challenging times in our industry, and I’m so glad to have several people at my fingertips to call and ask for advice. I’ve known many of them for years, but not at this level, and they are truly a wonderful group of individuals who lead this association.

Because we have such a diverse board, it’s allowed to learn how different size companies, in different markets navigate this ever-changing landscape of the final-mile world. Before the board, I only knew how my company was run, but now I have a much different perspective and appreciation for how companies much larger, and smaller than me operate. There is so much goodness that comes from gaining different perspectives, and this board has given me that, times 10!

Being a second generation-owner, I knew about the CLDA through my father. We’ve been members for over 30 years, but it wasn’t until I started going to the conferences, joining committees, and eventually joining the board, that I truly came to appreciate all that the CLDA has to offer. It’s truly a special group.
