Meet Laura Freeland, Executive Director of the Inland Port Transportation Management Association. While Laura's primary focus has been on transportation—ensuring employees get to work, home, and around town—she's discovered that the Inland Port region is about so much more than moving people from point A to B. So, what is it really about? It’s about opportunities. It’s about collaboration. It’s about creating pathways to possibilities. Businesses coming together to share ideas, best practices for safety, and innovative solutions for everyone. Our goal? To build a region that thrives on connection and growth, creating a better future for all. Join us on the journey at InlandPort.org/contact-us/
