ARLINGTON, Va. (March 12, 2015) — Mala Krishamoorti Parker has become the first vice president for coalitions at the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
In her new position, Ms. Parker will be in charge of connecting with other industry groups that share common issues and goals with the ATA, according to ATA President and CEO Bill Graves.
“When we've had successes in advancing ATA's pro-safety, pro-trucking agenda, it is often due to the support of other industry groups, and Mala is going to help ATA rally such groups to our key issues to have an impact that benefits all of us,” Mr. Graves said.
Ms. Parker previously served as associate deputy secretary at the U.S. Department of Labor; as an executive at the National Association of Home Builders; and as deputy chief of staff to Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla.
