"Given the current state of American politics, it can be tough to find a balanced perspective," Albertini says. "We are giving Work Truck Week attendees the opportunity to hear about important issues from both sides. Rove and Messina will share their insider perspectives on what is happening in the country, what it means, and what we can expect in the future. Along the way, they'll also provide valuable tips about leadership, strategy and planning."
Rove served in the George W. Bush White House and Messina with Barack Obama. Their discussion on March 12 will be moderated by Rick Albertini, 2026 NTEA Convention chair and president and CEO of Phenix Truck and Van in Pomona, Calif.
Work Truck Week 2026 will be March 10-13 in Indianapolis. Tickets will go on sale later this year.
