Ontario Trucking Association Names Stephen Laskowski President

The Ontario Trucking Association’s Board of Directors named Stephen Laskowski president during its meeting April 14.

Laskowski, a 20-year veteran of the association and its current senior vice president, succeeds David Bradley, who will remain CEO until he retires at the end of 2017.

“It is a testament to the strength of our staff that we have chosen to promote from within,” OTA Chairman Scott Tilley said. “Steve has been an outstanding second-in-charge for many years, and we have no doubt that he will be an outstanding leader in his own right.”

Laskowski joined OTA in 1994 and held progressively more senior jobs before becoming senior vice president in 2004. He also holds that title with the Canadian Trucking Alliance.

“When the day comes, there is no one I would rather see take over from me than Steve,” Bradley said. “He is passionate about the industry, dedicated and a hard worker. He has already made a significant contribution to OTA’s success over the past several years and will bring some fresh ideas to ensure OTA remains strong in the future.”
