ATA to Reorganize in Three Core Functions

American Trucking Associations (ATA) has announced it is reorganizing with the objective of “streamlining a number of the association’s core functions.”

“We have a long history of successes on behalf of our members, from legislation requiring electronic logging devices and the creation of a clearinghouse for drug and alcohol test results, to beating back toll initiatives at the state level and getting one of the very few laws passed through Congress last year to require regulators use the appropriate process, not ‘guidance’ to address the important issue of sleep apnea,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves

“But we know our members expect and demand even more success in the future, and that’s why after examining our organization from top to bottom, we have chosen to consolidate a number of our divisions to meet those expectations.

Under ATA’s new organizational structure, all of the association’s functions would fall into one of three areas: National Advocacy, Communications and Public Affairs and Finance and Operations, each headed by an executive vice president.

With these changes, Graves announced that:

• Dave Osiecki, formerly senior vice president of advocacy and regulatory affairs will be ATA’s new executive vice president and chief of national advocacy.

• Jeff Mason, formerly senior vice president of image and communications will be the group’s executive vice president of communications and public affairs.

• Karla Hulett, formerly CFO and senior vice president of finance and administration will be ATA’s COO and executive vice president of finance and operations.

“After making it through the Great Recession, our members are more focused than ever on the bottom line,” Hulett said. “By bringing together the bulk of our revenue-producing units, including membership, marketing and finance, we can keep a better eye on ATA’s bottom line and make sure our financial resources are going where they are most needed.”
