The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced the renewal of Great Dane’s Gold Level Partnership for 2022. This partnership is crucial to the advancement of the non-profit organization’s mission to encourage the employment of women in transportation and logistics, celebrate their success, and minimize the obstacles they face.

This is the eighth consecutive year that Great Dane has supported WIT as a gold-level partner. In addition to providing financial support, the company actively participates in the association. Laura Roan Hays, Regional Sales Manager at Great Dane, serves as Chair on the board of directors. 

“At Great Dane, we are proud to support programs like WIT which empower those in the trucking industry to find new opportunities for growth,” Roan Hays said. “My love and passion for the mission of WIT is shared by our Great Dane family, and is reflected by our core values of leadership and integrity.”

“We are honored to partner with an influential industry leader like Great Dane and look forward to the continuation of the expertise and leadership Hays brings to our board of directors,” said Ellen Voie, WIT president and CEO. “Their commitment and passion for supporting the issue of gender diversity in the trucking industry is incredibly valuable to our association.”

With a history dating back to 1900, Great Dane has established itself as a transportation solutions leader – delivering innovative products and exceptional services that help move America forward. Great Dane not only engineers durable and high-quality trailers and truck bodies, but also fosters relationships with customers and industry partners that last the long haul.
