Leading TIA - The Intermodal Logistics Podcast

The new leader of the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) already knows the lay of the land, so he’s hit the ground running tackling membership priorities. President and CEO Chris Burroughs began leading TIA in November, after his predecessor Anne Reinke took the leadership spot with the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) – see and hear more from her on our previous episode of the Intermodal Logistics Podcast https://youtu.be/Ic3m_zzHtPk.

But unlike many new CEOs, Chris had already spent more than 13 years with his organization, and he tells us on this edition how that background – including the earlier days of TIA with fewer staff – helped him wear many hats and gave him a broad understanding of how things work. Since taking over leadership, Chris says TIA’s continued focusing on a problem that’s not going away – fraud, navigating the transition from the Biden to Trump administrations in the process.

He continues to see getting exposure in Washington D.C. as key to helping the association’s priorities, which also include nuclear verdicts arising from accidents involving commercial trucks, owner-operator definitions and more. Plus, Chris tells us about TIA’s focus on expanding its continuing education offerings – many of which are free to members.

And, we hear about the Capital Ideas Conference, with the 2025 edition taking place in San Antonio this April. Learn more about the TIA at its website, www.tianet.org, where you can also find registration information and more about the conference.
