 "We took the expedited trucking opportunity to six Midwest cities during the year including a two-day stop at the Expedite Expo.  We had great attendance at these free events and we have to express our appreciation to not only the current and prospective expediters for supporting our efforts, but to our sponsors as well. 

"I also want to congratulate Micki McIntyre for a job very well done.  Micki, we couldn't do it without you!"

Ms. McIntyre, Expediters Online.com's Director of New Business Development and chief organizer of the Workshop series says, "When we hear the positive comments from the attendee's about the events, it makes it all worthwhile.  I truly believe that we are helping people who are looking into this business by providing real-world information from the expedite professionals who have been there and done that."

She continues, "We had another great Workshop in Strongsville, Ohio this past Thursday and it closed out a fine series.  It was a beautiful venue, the people were wonderful and because of its proximity to a number of expedited carriers headquarters, we had some folks from management who attended the show and we want to thank them for coming by."

Echoing McCord's comments, McIntyre expresses her appreciation of the Series sponsors':   "They make it all possible.  Without their support and assistance, we could not 'take this show on the road.'   The Workshops have given us the opportunity to meet some fantastic people in this industry and we're grateful for all they do!"

McIntyre says that next year's Expediter Workshop Series is already in the planning stages:  "We're working on the dates and locations now, so everyone should stay tuned to Expediters Online.  We'll be announcing the '07 schedule very soon and we're looking forward to another great year!"
