This year we complete the integration of our councils. And, with our new focus on advocacy, the councils become more important to ATA's future than they have been to our past. This year, the Councils, restructured and refocused, will give depth to our policy-setting processes. The trucking industry's PAC is becoming a force in national politics. This year, we breathe new life into the Western Highway Institute, and follow-through on our expanded work in the West.
Western problems require Western solutions.
And this year, we put the question to the Conferences. It's your decision. But, this year we're moving forward. With you, or without you. Our vision is too bold, our challenge too great, the promise too rich to be paralyzed by an interminable search for consensus where none is to be had.
