 MAYNARD
ELECTED CHAIRMAN
William
Maynard of Cummins Great Lakes in DePere, Wisconsin, was elected as Chairman
of the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association (WMCA) at the group's annual
meeting held November 15 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.
The
WMCA is a non-profit trade association representing the interests of the
trucking industry in Wisconsin.
The association has approximately 1,300 member companies and is
affiliated with the American Trucking Associations (ATA) in Washington
D.C.
At
the noon luncheon after his election, Maynard commented, “It
is my belief that the Transportation Business will play a more important
role in the economic recovery that we are seeking within America. Our
nation’s products move by truck and this is a very key factor to our recovery
success. The transportation business must be proactive, it must be profitable,
and it has to grow. Our nation will recover, it will be a stronger nation
and transportation will play a bigger role in the future success of America.”
Other
WMCA officers elected at that meeting were:

chairman. Maynard is also
active in a number of other transportation-related organizations, such
as the Transportation Builders Association, the Wisconsin-Michigan Timber
Producers Association, and a variety of traffic clubs around the state.
Maynard’s
entire career has been with the same company. He started his career as a parts
