Penske Senior Vice President to Chair Women in Trucking Board

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced its 2025-2026 board of directors, which will be chaired by Sarah Smith, senior vice president of human resources for Penske Transportation Solutions.

Under Smith’s leadership, the board will provide strategic guidance in support of the association’s mission to encourage the employment of women in transportation, minimize obstacles they face, and promote their accomplishments. The board includes top leaders from a variety of roles and backgrounds within the transportation industry.

“This talented group of leaders is committed to advancing the mission of WIT while making meaningful advancements in gender diversity within the trucking industry,” said Jennifer Hedrick, president and CEO of WIT. “It’s important to continue to bring more diversity of experience, thought and skills as the industry continues to grow.”

A valued partner of WIT since 2014, Penske has been instrumental in driving meaningful change by supporting the association's initiatives. Penske recently renewed its Gold Level Partnership, underscoring the company’s dedication to advancing gender diversity in transportation, and is a perennial top sponsor of WIT’s annual conference. Last fall, Penske was once again named a top company for women in transportation.
