IANA recognizes contributions of President and CEO

The Intermodal Association of North America announced that it had retitled its Scholarship Program in honor of the organization's retiring chief executive, Joni Casey. Since 2007, IANA has provided over $5.3 million to support students in university programs, now totaling thirteen, that are focused on freight and intermodal transportation.

"As a lasting testament to Joni’s dedication to the industry and its future, the scholarship funding that she helped organize will be renamed the Joanne F. Casey Scholarship Program,” said Trevor Ash, Chair of IANA’s Board of Directors and CEO of CIE Manufacturing.

Also at this year’s Intermodal EXPO, the IANA Chair presented Casey with the Chairman’s Award, a tribute to her meritorious service to the Association. During Casey's tenure, IANA has grown its membership from several hundred companies to more than 1,000; developed and expanded its Intermodal Information Services; and increased the Association’s visibility before policymakers.

“Joni’s transformative leadership has shaped IANA into a dynamic organization poised to address the evolving needs of the intermodal community,” shared Ash with freight leaders and supply chain decision-makers at the event.
