Dear ATA Members,
Today is my last day as President & CEO of the Arizona Trucking Association, and I couldn't let it pass without saying thank you.
Leading ATA and working alongside all of you has been one of the great privileges of my career, and I'm more grateful than I can put into words for the trust, the partnership, and honestly, the fun we've had along the way.
None of what we've accomplished would have been possible without our incredible staff, who have poured their talent and heart into this Association day in and day out, and our Board of Directors, whose leadership and vision have guided us every step of the way.
Ronald Reagan closed out his own farewell address with a line that's stuck with me: "We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference." That's exactly how I feel about our 13 years together.
Rest assured, it's business as usual at ATA. The Board is hard at work finding our next leader, and our outstanding staff will keep things running smoothly in the meantime — please don't hesitate to reach out to our team with anything you need.
This isn't really goodbye, though. I'll hope to see you all at the Annual Conference on October 26, where I fully expect to be roasted incessantly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's been the honor.
Tony Bradley
