MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Will Schmidt

President

Dear TCS Members,

 

It is truly my honor to serve as the President of the Transportation Club of Seattle for 2026. As we reflect on our previous year, it is evident that we continue to prioritize the growth of our club as you, our members, are the lifeblood of our organization.

In the past couple of years, we have seen new companies appear and other ones go. During it all, we continue to see many familiar faces which is a testament to the importance of organizations such as ours. Because of this, we will continue to invite dynamic speakers to our monthly Lunch & Learn luncheons that provide real value for our members and prioritize our networking events which have been well attended.
 

We are proud to say we have been around for 116 years and will continue our mission of providing a strong network of diverse professionals across the greater transportation industry, community benefits through our long-standing partnership with the Salvation Army White Center, and our involvement in the future of our youth through our Scholarship program.   We encourage all of you to help us expand our club by inviting your colleagues, clients, and acquaintances to join our network.
 

As always, I would like to thank our Board of Directors and their incredible investment in our club. If you have any interest in getting more involved with our club, you can reach out to any of our directors or myself.
 

We look forward to seeing all of you throughout the year!

 

Will Schmidt, President.
