ICE was well represented at the Women in Transportation SC Scholarship and Awards Luncheon, honoring SC women in transportation who made an impressive impact in 2022.
President and CEO of Benedict College, Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, gave an excellent and quite motivating speech during the luncheon, advocating for the advancement of women in the transportation industry, the mission of WTS.
Since 1977, WTS International, originally named the Women’s Transportation Seminar, has focused on promoting the advancement of women in the transportation industry. Women were primarily discouraged from participating in professional associations – unless the activities were deemed educational. In response, a pioneering group of women organized luncheons and workshops, considered acceptable “seminars.” These founding members supported one another, used their connections to advance their careers, and began to idealize a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable transportation industry. WTS is dedicated to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable transportation industry through the global advancement of women. We advance women; advance transportation.
