Douglas Clark has been serving as interim president since June. Clark is a 40-year industry veteran and TIA honorary life member. Former CEO Robert Voltmann stepped down from the position at about that time.

Voltmann took on the leadership role at the association in June 1997. He said that leaving was difficult but that he had accomplished everything he was hired to do, including improving TIA’s financial situation and political influence.

TIA has represented the 3PL industry since its founding in 1978, advocating for transportation intermediaries of all disciplines in domestic and international commerce.
