Happy Holidays from WTS International!

From all of us here at WTS International, including our staff, WTS International Board, and WTS Foundation Board, we wish you and your loved ones a Happy Holidays and a safe and wonderful new year!

Even in these continued uncertain times, it is a comfort to know we have WTS to lean on as a tightknit community of strong women and men, a group who can always find support in each other and the relationships we have made through WTS.

WTS International is not just a networking opportunity - it is a community of people who respect each other, trust each other, and create friendships and bonds irrespective of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or geographical location. Through professional development opportunities, advocacy, trainings, and seminars this community advances women and advances transportation. This is what makes WTS International so special.

We look forward to all that WTS will accomplish in 2022 and to celebrate the growth and success of each one of WTS International's valued and respected members!
