American Trucking Associations unveiled its Women in Motion Mentorship Program, designed to foster the growth and development of women in the transportation industry, the trade group announced in a press release.
"As a mentor, you not only have the chance to give back and make a positive impact on someone's life but also to learn and grow from the experience," said Women in Motion Co-Chairperson Sarah Rajtik, ATA executive vice president of human resources, operations, and industry affairs. "Through mentorship, we can collectively empower the next generation of women leaders and shape a brighter future for our industry."
