2018 Kicks Off at Bennett’s 38th Annual Symposium
Bennett’s 38th annual Symposium, a recognition and networking event for freight agents, field offices, company employees and Drivers of the Year was held on a rainy weekend January 26th to 29th, but the spirit in the building at the beautiful Chateau Elan made up for the weather. This year’s theme concentraed on three Wildly Important Goals: Safety, Capacity, and Accountability.
Throughout various networking events, business unit break-out sessions, and agent advisory board meetings complete strangers from all around the world come together over a quick conversation about the industry and develop relationships that last longer than just a weekend. The BIT Circle of Excellence winner, Jennifer Powell, makes it a point to meet someone new every year at Symposium. She said, “this year I was able to connect with Daryl in Arizona; BIT will now be assisting Daryl with rates to import trolley cars to the United States from China and handle the returns.”
CEO of Bennett International Group, Marcia Taylor, delivers her speech during the morning general session.
