“As an industry, we have only come this far, thanks to the dedication and leaders before us. We would like nothing more than to honor those who have served before us”, says Aimee Andres, executive director of IRPT. “It is because of their focused attention to freight transportation, building our network and providing leadership that has allowed the inland river system and the many ports and terminals that serve it, to continuously thrive.”
We would like to invite you to share in this honor and we hope you can make it. As Inland Rivers, Ports & Terminals continues to be a resource to our industry, we proudly honor our past leaders for their dedication not only to our Association, but to our industry as a whole.
