"Our plan calls for three major priorities - growing ABA's membership, doubling the number of events we host to create more opportunities for engagement, and strengthening representation across the entire ecosystem of operators, travel partners, and suppliers."
"Expanding the board gives us the leadership structure we need to deliver on those goals. It brings more voices to the table, drives collaboration across sectors, and positions ABA to lead with even greater impact as we head toward our centennial and beyond."
"ABA's expanded board reaffirms the Association's commitment to being bus-operator driven, with 35 of its 58 seats dedicated to bus operators. A key change in this expansion is the creation of more seats specifically for small operators, ensuring their voices are represented at the national level. Small businesses make up more than 85% of the motorcoach industry and are the backbone of America's strategic transportation reserve. Their presence on the board complements ABA's representation of mid-size and large operators and strengthens the connection to the broader tour and travel community. Leaders from charter, entertainer, rural, and fixed-route operations will represent businesses of all sizes and regions, reinforcing the essential role bus operators play in the nation's economy and mobility network."
