For the first time in its near-40-year history, the Mississippi Valley Trade & Transport Council (MVTTC) has canceled its annual conference. Council Chairman David Ryan, vice president of sales and marketing for Associated Terminals, said it was a difficult decision, but the right one nonetheless.
“The board and I painstakingly labored for months over making this decision,” Ryan said. “I mean, no one wants to be the person that cancels an industry staple that has been a favorite for nearly 40 years. In the end, we had to do what we felt was right, what no one else has done in the 40 years of the MVTTC, even in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and cancel the conference.”
