The VTA’s 120th AGM resulted in the re-election of its president and vice-president
The Victorian Transport Association (VTA) has confirm that president Mike Lean and vice-president Dennis Ryan were re-elected to their respective roles at the Association’s Annual General Meeting this month.
The VTA says both Lean and Ryan have been long-serving members of the VTA Executive Council and have provided steady and dedicated leadership over their many years of service. The VTA Executive Council and Secretariat says it is appreciative of their efforts, and congratulates them on their re-election.
The AGM was the 120th in the Association’s long and proud history.
In his president’s report, Lean touched on some of the notable efforts and achievements of the VTA over the past year. He acknowledged many of the external issues that have impacted our industry by pushing up prices and disrupting supply chains such as war in Eastern Europe, precarious international shipping lanes, and more recently floods in south-eastern Australia.
Lean indicated that through all these challenges, the VTA has continued to advocate for our state and federal leadership to support freight operators with legislation and public policy to help ease the financial impact.
He also touched on industry leadership in the areas of training, decarbonization, minimum standards and infrastructure planning.
