Trucker Buddy Executive Director Appointed to ATA Committee

Steve Williams, Chairman of the American Trucking Association (www.truckline.com), recently announced the nomination of Ellen Voie to the ATA's Communications and Image Policy Committee. Voie, the Executive Director of Trucker Buddy International (www.truckerbuddy.org) for four years, has agreed to serve on this committee for the 2004-2005 term. The Communications and Image Policy Committee is responsible for promoting a positive image of the transportation industry, and has initiated the recent, "Good Stuff, Trucks Bring It" campaign.

"I am pleased that the ATA recognizes the impact the nearly 4,000 Trucker Buddy drivers have on thousands of children, their teachers and their parents each week as they correspond with elementary students," said Voie. "Our organization has been presenting a positive image of truck drivers to the general public for over a decade," she added, "and we will continue to work alongside the ATA to positively impact those outside of our industry."

Voie will be attending the ATA Leadership meeting this February in Washington DC, where she will attend her first ATA meeting in her official capacity as committee member.

Trucker Buddy International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping educate and mentor schoolchildren via a pen pal relationship between professional truck drivers and children in grades 2-8. Trucker Buddy matches classes of students with professional truck drivers. Every week drivers share news about their travels with their class. Once a month, students write letters to their drivers. Students' skills in reading, writing, geography, mathematics, social studies, and history are enhanced and learning is fun. Since 1992, Trucker Buddy has helped educate nearly one million schoolchildren and introduced them to caring, compassionate men and women, professional truck drivers. The organization's headquarters are located in Waupaca, Wisconsin.
