PMTA added Kelly Hawthorne to the staff in April to serve as the Association's Chapter Relations Director. She has been heavily involved with PMTA and the Lancaster chapter for many years and brings with her a lot of experience running chapter events. Please see a note from Kelly below.

My goals are to increase membership throughout Pennsylvania and to meet with each chapter on a regular basis so I can assist them anyway I am able. 

I have been affiliated with PMTA all my adult career. The Lancaster Chapter has helped me grow and learn so much about the trucking industry along with depending on others. I could not have asked for a better mentor than the friends I have at the Lancaster Chapter. 

In my spare time, I like reading books written by authors Michael Connelly and Sandra Brown. 

I live in New Holland, PA with my significant other, David Lynch. He has been my rock and best friend for twenty plus years. Between the two of us, we have four children and seven grandchildren with two more on the way both due in August 2022. Of course, since we are empty nesters, we have four fur babies. Three dogs and one cat. 

I am looking forward to collaborating with the staff at PMTA along with the members and prospective members.
