Cary and Ellen met during the inaugural Cinderella to CEO Awards - Ellen was the grand prize winner among 200 other nominees. The audience heard from all the award finalists and voted Ellen as the top winner for her work building a more inclusive workplace (read more about her award in Chapter 10 of her book). Ellen's story is inspirational! She talks with Cary about the risks she takes and what fun she has had building the 80,000 member, global organization Women in Trucking.
As a result, women are helping redefine trucking from a “rough, male-only” field to one that values professionalism, safety, diversity, and innovation. Their growing presence is making the industry more sustainable and attractive to the next generation of workers. Companies that recruit and retain women drivers often see improvements in workplace culture, safety records, and overall employee retention.
Voie founded the Women In Trucking Association in March of 2007, with a mission to promote the employment of women in the trucking industry, to remove obstacles that might keep them from succeeding, and to celebrate the successes of its members.Since 2017, Voie has been hosting the Women In Trucking Show on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Channel 146, which airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7am and 3pm Eastern.
