HOUSTON, March 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DISA Global Solutions is proud
to announce our official membership with the Women In Trucking
Association (WIT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to
encouraging the employment of women in the trucking industry,
promoting their accomplishments, and removing barriers that hinder
their success. This corporate membership aligns with our commitment
to fostering diversity, inclusion, and equality in the
transportation sector.
Who Is Women In Trucking?
The Women In Trucking Association is a leading organization that
advocates for women in the trucking industry by providing
resources, mentorship, education, and networking opportunities.
Since its founding, WIT has worked diligently to increase the
number of women in all levels of trucking, from drivers to
executives. Their mission resonates with companies that strive to
build an equitable and welcoming workplace, making it an ideal
organization for DISA to collaborate with.
Why DISA Became Part of Women In Trucking
At DISA, we recognize that supporting diversity and inclusion
leads to stronger, more successful businesses and industries. The
transportation sector has traditionally been male-dominated, and we
believe in the importance of empowering women to pursue and thrive
in careers within trucking. Becoming a member of WIT enables us to
contribute meaningfully to this mission by providing compliance
solutions, safety expertise, and workforce development resources to
help companies create an inclusive environment.
DISA's Participation in WIT's Events and the Importance of
This Corporate Membership
On November 12, 2024, our very
own, Mia Hicks, Manager, Drug
Testing Risk and Compliance represented DISA as a presenter at the
Women In Trucking Conference, delivering a session titled Drug and
Alcohol Testing – What You Need to Know. Her presence at the event
underscored our commitment to advocating for women in trucking, as
she shared valuable insights on industry challenges, compliance
solutions, and fostering safer work environments. Her contribution
not only strengthened DISA's role in WIT but also reinforced the
importance of empowering women leaders in the field.
"It was an honor to represent DISA at such an important event.
Trucking is a vital part of our economy, and ensuring that women
have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed
benefits everyone. At DISA, we're not just talking about diversity,
we're taking action to support it. Aligning with Women in Trucking
(WIT) is more than just an organizational membership; it's a step
towards shaping the future of trucking. I am incredibly grateful
for the opportunity to have participated in the Women in Trucking
Conference, where the supportive environment empowered participants
to explore every facet of the industry. No question was too small,
and no ambition was too big, everyone was encouraged to push
boundaries and pursue every opportunity for growth and success. The
evolution of DISA's relationship with Women in Trucking holds
endless possibilities, and I'm excited to see how it continues to
grow and inspire future endeavors in this incredible industry. " -
