Plover, WI – May 15, 2020 – The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) announced today that PACCAR has renewed its Gold Level Partnership, helping the nonprofit organization empower more women to develop careers in transportation, celebrate their successes and address the challenges they face.

In addition to providing financial support, the company actively participates in the association. Michele Rodgers, Director of Business & Product Development for Dynacraft, a PACCAR Company, serves on the WIT board of directors. 

“PACCAR is proud to support Women In Trucking, an organization with diversity-focused initiatives that parallel our own,” said Rodgers. “Inclusion initiatives within PACCAR and the industry drive success and open doors to all.”

“We are grateful to have the continued support from an influential business leader like PACCAR,” said Ellen Voie, President and CEO of WIT. “Their passion and advocacy for diversifying the industry is instrumental in advancing the WIT mission and affecting real change in the industry.”

Since 2007, WIT has been committed to bringing greater opportunities for women in transportation and helping them succeed. A few recent accomplishments include a record-breaking attendance at the 2019 Accelerate!
