The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association has added another professional speaker to the program of its 67^th annual convention.
Retired Admiral Ray Smith will speak on how the Navy SEALs lead and build effective teams in a high-stress environment. Smith will draw from his 31-year career. He joined the Navy as a junior officer and retired after serving as the head of the SEALs.
Joining Smith on the program will be:

• Jerry Moyes, Swift Transportation. Moyes will give his perspective on issues affecting motor carriers.
• Eric Starks, FTR Associates. Starks will deliver his forecast for the trailer manufacturing industry.
The convention will be held April 29-May 3 at the J.W. Marriott Starr Pass Resort in Tucson, Arizona.
