ATA announces reorganization

Jan. 27, 2014

The American Trucking Assn. (ATA) has announced a reorganization and streamlining of its core functions.

Under ATA’s new 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.

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; and Karla Hulett, formerly CFO and senior vice president of finance and administration will be COO and executive vice president of finance and operations.

“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.
