Plover, WI – January 8, 2018 – The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) announced today that BMO Transportation Finance has renewed its Gold Level Partnership to continue supporting the association’s efforts to advance gender diversity in the transportation industry.

John Dietze, Managing Director, Dealer Sales, serves on the board of directors for both the WIT Association and Foundation. “We are a top-performing organization that enables our people to build unique relationships with each other, our customers and our partners. Diversity and learning from our differences is one of our core corporate values and something we share in common with WIT,” Said John Dietze. “That’s why BMO is proud to support Women in Trucking.” “With help and support from business leaders like BMO Transportation Finance, we are able to raise awareness of the need for more women in the transportation industry – both as drivers and corporate leaders,” said Ellen Voie, WIT president and CEO. “We are grateful for their continued support.” Since 2007, WIT has been committed to encouraging women to consider careers in the trucking industry, addressing obstacles that might keep them from succeeding, and celebrating the success of its members.
