SHOWCASING ADVOCACY

Devine was honored to host Assemblymember Mike Gibson’s (D-Carson) “launch party” for his report on ports and goods movement. Legislators, port officials, and supply chain stakeholders were all in attendance.

We thank Assembly member Gibson for his leadership on a subject near and dear to us. You can read the full report here.

 

EXHIBITING LEADERSHIP

Last month, Devine’s president, Karen Vellutini (pictured second from right), was a panelist at a Women in Leadership luncheon sponsored by Women in Logistics. It was a great panel featuring women from different facets of logistics as well as different industries. Attendees and speakers alike came away with something learned…including Karen’s opinion on the word “bossy.”
