Christopher Burroughs will succeed Anne Reinke as president and CEO of the Transportation Intermediaries Association, the organization’s board of directors announced Sept. 26.
Burroughs, who has been with the association for more than a decade, most recently served as vice president of government affairs, overseeing all legislative and regulatory efforts with the federal government.
“We thank Anne for her service while at TIA,” Board of Directors Chair Mark Christos said. “She joined TIA in the middle of COVID, has positioned us well as membership, education and our conferences have grown. We are excited for Chris and the leadership he will bring. His strong background in government affairs and his deep connection to members and their needs position us well for continued success.”
The board of directors credited Burroughs for gaining support on key policy priorities important to the association, such as the CTPAT Pilot Program Act of 2023. He also has served on the board of directors of the Unified Carrier Registration Plan and was nominated two years ago to serve as the chair of the Industry Advisory Subcommittee.

“Over the years, Chris has played an integral role in helping TIA become the leader in the supply chain industry, especially when it comes to fighting fraud,” Christos said. “We have made progress on fraud and last week over 100 members and technology leaders in our industry visited with congressional and FMCSA leaders to further ways to reduce the sharp rise of fraud.”
