TXTA Leadership Award
The Leadership Award is bestowed annually in recognition of an association member who has shown exceptional leadership, unparalleled character and faithful commitment to the Texas trucking industry. These recipients are role models among their peers and are leaders in their companies, TXTA and the industry.
The 2023 Leadership Award Recipient is John Prewitt, Tideport Distributing. John is the first Chairman to receive the Leadership Award at the conclusion of his Chairman year—a fitting tribute to a man who has gone above and beyond for TXTA and the industry.
