WIM Recognizes

The WIM Recognizes Award embodies the strength of a supportive community, fostering an inclusive environment for women in transportation. This award celebrates women entering the industry, those contributing innovative ideas, and those with small businesses who are making a meaningful impact.
 
Over the past year, applications were collected, reviewed, and voted on by the WIM Board during ATA’s Management Conference & Exhibition in Nashville this October. Each of the recipients received a $500 award to support their continued success and career growth. 
 
We are thrilled to congratulate the six recipients: 
 
Alexandra Frye, ContainerPort Group 
Jennie Malafarina, Virago Marketing 
Bonnie Supan, Brenny Transportation 
Vanessa Villegas, Hippoz Express, Inc. 
Tomika Willis, TDS Trucking, Training & Technology
Laura Wilson, Lawrence Companies 

We’ve been inspired by the innovative ideas we’ve seen, and we look forward to even more applications in 2025. A heartfelt thank you to our corporate members for funding this initiative through their annual dues, and to our WIM Recognizes program sponsor, Cummins Inc. 

Stay tuned for more information regarding 2025 entries.
