I am extremely honored as well as humbled to represent New York State in this Women In Buses project of “ 50 Stories form 50 States ”. I always say that Women In Buses is very near and dear to my heart as I served as its ’ first Chairwoman when it was formed . Today this organization continues to highlight the important role of women in the motorcoach industry , provide members with education , professional growth and mentoring opportunities and encourages membership for all ! I couldn ’ t be prouder of where we have come since 2012 ! This industry has provided me many personal opportunities in the 32 years that I have been part of it . From my earliest days as a tour escort , travel
opportunities took me from Europe to the Panama Canal , Alaska , Hawaii and the beautiful continental United States and Canada to an office position where I planned retail and charters trips . All these experiences helped lead me to managing the entire company and becoming involved at an entirely different level in the industry . I served as the Chair for the newly formed Women In Buses , became a Chair of the ABA Marketplace in St . Louis , was invited to join the ABA Board of Directors , became President of the Bus Association of New York and have served on numerous special committees as well as have enjoyed many speaking engagements on the industry and motivation . Four years ago , I made an employment change from one company to another for a new opportunity and challenge ! And throughout this last year , many of us became politically active to fight for the survival of our industry . All of the accomplishments attained in my career have only been possible due to the relationships that were formed over all the years in the industry as well as the support of my two sons , grandson and family ! We are an industry built on relationships , strength , commitment , and hard work !
