Description

Women are helping the trucking industry move America forward. Join the Nebraska Trucking Association's (NTA) Women's Council for an inspirational afternoon at Wilderness Ridge Country Club on February 16, 2023. Hear how women impact trucking, be inspired, and connect with friends and colleagues.

We are proud to present Ellen Voie, President and CEO of the Women in Trucking Association. Ellen believes "by understanding and addressing our own bias, we can learn to avoid it, minimize its effect, or maybe even eliminate it." Ellen will share how unconscious bias affects women in trucking and how each of us can be a catalyst for change. 

Then be inspired by other women in trucking. Listen to their stories of challenge and success.

Enjoy the afternoon with the NTA Women's Council, leave inspired, and become a change-maker.
