After two decades leading Natso, Lisa Mullings will step down as president and CEO at the end of 2024, the association announced Dec. 17.
Mullings, who has been at the helm of the truck stop and travel center trade group since 2004, described the decision as difficult but said she is confident in Natso’s future.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve the travel center and truck stop industry,” Mullings said. “Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working alongside an extraordinary team, tackling challenges, celebrating successes and championing an industry that plays such a vital role in our transportation system and the nation’s economy.”
During Mullings’ tenure, Natso has been a prominent voice on for truck stops and travel centers on Capitol Hill and within federal regulatory agencies. The organization said it remains focused on addressing near- and long-term priorities for its members as the industry adapts to new legislative and regulatory challenges.

Natso Chairman Joe Zietlow praised Mullings’ leadership, calling her tenure a reflection of her commitment to the industry.
“During my 11 months as Natso’s chairman, I have personally witnessed Lisa’s unwavering commitment to this industry, its members and Natso’s dedicated staff,” Zietlow said. “She has predicated her career on serving generations of truck stops and travel centers, including many of the industry’s founding families and members.”
Before becoming president and CEO, Mullings served as Natso’s vice president of public affairs and counsel.
The association said it will appoint an interim CEO to oversee the leadership transition.
Founded in 1960, Natso represents truck stops and travel centers nationwide, focusing on advocacy, education and business development.
