Meetings
Join the TIA leadership at the 2022 TIA Policy Forum. As President John F. Kennedy stated, “If not us, who? If not now, when?” As our Chairman of the Board Mike Riccio perfectly points out in this video, now is the time for TIA members to have their voices heard on important issues that could have massive impacts on our industry and your business like “rate transparency.” This issue will affect every member of TIA regardless of the size of your company. We need more members than ever before to attend the 2022 Policy Forum to have your voices heard! Join us October 26-28 at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa for education sessions designed to help you implement, understand, and take control of the technology changes affecting your business; three Showcases with 21 presenters giving a “TECH TALK” on innovations that will advance the industry; and introducing TIA Shark Tank! Industry leading technology startups will join us as they make their pitches to our panel of experts. Register today! TIA 2023 Capital Ideas Conference & Exhibition booths are available! After the record-breaking 2022 conference, we anticipate booth space to sell out in 2023.

TIA Call to Action: TIA Members, as you know over the last year and a half we have been working diligently on your behalf to include DOT licensed property brokers in the C-TPAT program, a public/private partnership focused on hardening the supply chain. Department of Homeland Security’s decision more than 10 years ago to exclude you from C-TPAT has cost you all countless business opportunities. We have legislation to start to fix this. S.2322 has been passed in the Senate, and H.R. 6826 in the House of Representatives will allow 10 TIA members to be included in this program through a pilot program. This starts the process of opening up C-TPAT to any 3PL who would like to join. Use this link, with a pre-written note, to call on your elected leaders in the House of Representatives to co-sponsor and support H.R 6826. Education
Member Resources
We have just updated the Member Resource Library with a new section devoted exclusively to whitepapers TIA has produced over the years. These resources are designed to help our members gain a better understanding of issues, trends, and developments in the industry as they navigate an increasingly crowded 3PL marketplace. The Member Resource Library also includes a collection of guidelines and frameworks, contracts, legal cases, and other resources to provide TIA Members with a knowledge bank for 3PL success. |
