2024 Committees Announced
The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers is a not-for-profit directed entirely by its membership base and their elected representatives. NATM’s Committees serve a vital function in guiding the work of the Association. Committee members support the adaptation and evolution of the Association while seeing to it that the strategic vision established by the Board of Directors is being carried out.
Committee volunteers signed up in record-breaking numbers to serve in 2024. With 124 individuals signed up to volunteer their time, nine committees with specific goals were established by the Executive Committee. These nine committees are Compliance, Convention, Dealers, Education, Finance, Government Affairs, Membership, Technical, and Technology.
Meeting from monthly to quarterly, these committees will be tackling big goals in 2024. These include, but are not limited to;
-
Updating NATM’s Generic Owner’s Manuals.
-
Reviewing and updating NATM’s Investment and Reserves policies to ensure the Association is both prepared for the future and reinvesting in members today.
-
Working with OEMs to try and find ways to involve trailer manufacturers in their processes.
-
Expanding Dealer Affiliate benefits.
