• Enhancing professional development to ensure our teams stay at the forefront of industry advancements
• Creating meaningful networking opportunities to foster collaboration and shared learning
• Advocating for student transportation safety at every level

I encourage you to stay engaged and involved by checking our Chapter Events page for local opportunities to connect and grow. I also look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming State events:
