Caitlin Jugert, president of The Trailer Parts Outlet and founder and co-host of the "Women in the Trailer Industry" podcast, will chair the committee.
"The focus of NATDA's Women in the Trailer Industry committee is to support women in the industry through education and networking," says NATDA executive director Andria Gibbon. "We are very fortunate that Caitlin Jugert agreed to serve as chair. As a pioneer in the industry through the 'Women in the Trailer Industry' podcast, she's the ideal person to lead the committee as it establishes its framework and goals."
The committee will establish a LinkedIn group to offer women in the light-to-medium duty trailer industry a place to learn, share insights and experiences, ask for guidance, and build valuable connections.
Women who are interested in serving on the committee may contact Andria Gibbon at [email protected]. or call (727) 360-0304, extension 102.
"More and more, women are rising to leadership roles in what has historically been a male-dominated industry, and I am excited to help NATDA create a network and resources to address the very issues that Lacey Baker and I discuss on our podcast," Jugert says. "It is my hope that this committee will empower women in our industry to succeed and thrive."
