A Chat With The Chairman<br />
Taking on<br />
Responsibility<br />
TCA Chairman Dennis Dellinger<br />
outlines agenda for coming year<br />
Foreword and Interview by Lyndon Finney<br />
The chairman of the board plays an extremely important role for a nonprofit organization. At<br />
the core of the chair’s duties, he or she generally presides over meetings of the board, collaborating<br />
with the chief executive to create a purposeful agenda and to set priorities, and helping to<br />
ensure sound and compliant governance of the organization. An effective chair goes beyond leading<br />
the board at board meetings. While the chair’s role is often filled by a strategic thinker who is<br />
equipped to follow through on ideas, an effective chair must also engage and facilitate participation<br />
from each board member and make sure the ideas, and the decisions, are collective. Over<br />
the years, the Truckload Carriers Association has been blessed to have had persons of character,<br />
wisdom, and integrity to fill that role. This year, that responsibility falls to Dennis Dellinger. In<br />
his first Chat With the Chairman, Dennis joins us to discuss issues facing the Association in the<br />
coming year, talks about key issues facing the industry, and calls for continued involvement on<br />
the part of TCA members.<br />
