By Jennifer Pellersels, Generation Next Chair

Over the years that I have been attending The Work Truck Show®, I have to say this year’s edition made for yet another great show! NTEA staff did a remarkable job organizing and planning the Show, and Generation Next was busy as well. I’d like to provide insight on what Generation Next members can expect next year, as well as what your Board of Governors does in support of the event.

First, I want to thank Andrew Dawson for his leadership as chairman for Generation Next Board of Governors. Andrew did am outstanding job leading the Board over the past year and inspired us to continue making Generation Next better.  Full story
