HONORABLE RAY LAHOOD AWARD
This award, essentially a “man of the year” award, has been created to recognize the men that have been key to WTS International’s effort to attract, retain, and advance women in transportation. WTS has long called for men to take an active role in bringing more women to the industry and to help women achieve the highest levels of leadership. It is not a reward for service to our organization. Selection criteria is based upon a man who:

• Has led by example, seeks out opportunities to advance and advocate for women in his own organization, and actively ensures that women are able to compete for key positions of authority within that organization.
• Has directly contributed toward the advancement of women and minorities through programs or opportunities in the transportation field.
• Has made an outstanding contribution to the transportation industry.
