ANNUAL MEETING SAVE THE DATE
January 6-8, 2022
Grapevine, TX
Trailways Transportation Systems has been recognized as a prestigious network of coach operators since 1936. Throughout our history, Trailways has provided a high level of operational, sales, marketing, and network services to our stakeholders – while reinvesting in and growing our network.
With this, we are proud to announce that we will be reformatting the annual Trailways Transportation Systems Stockholder Meeting. Starting in January 2022, we will co-locate with the American Bus Association’s Marketplace in Grapevine, TX. Trailways will host our annual meeting starting on the evening of January 6 through the afternoon of January 8. A full agenda for the ABA Marketplace can be found HERE. We will also be discussing the possibility to co-locate with UMA in 2023. By aligning our meetings with UMA and ABA, we will create better synergies with the legislative efforts and suppliers of the industry. This should also create significant travel cost savings for our stakeholders. More information on the detailed Trailways meeting agenda for 2022 will follow.
While COVID paused our industry and created challenges like never before, like many, we are recommitting Trailways Transportation Systems to the industry – using this opportunity to make changes that will make us stronger.
Trailways is also happy to announce that we have engaged the marketing and communication services of Vicki Bowman, CMP, CED, CSEP. Many of you already know Vicki as a marketing professional with a 16-year career in the bus industry, and founder of VB Group Marketing & Event Resources, a marketing and events resource firm specializing in organizational management, events planning and marketing services for regional associations.
Bowman and her team, who also have bus industry experience, will be responsible for Trailways’ marketing & stockholder social media, execution of our meetings and tradeshow, communication to all members and special marketing projects as needed.
