Membership Information
Justification
for Membership:
· Industry members working
together. The collective intelligence of
a group is greater than the intelligence of any one individual. Unity of purpose and unity of action will
carry an industry farther than almost any amount of individual effort. Individual members share the prosperity that
results from people working together.
· Legislative advocacy at both
local and state government levels, intended to protect and promote the towing
industry.
· Strengthening of working
relationships with the Department of Public Safety, Department of Transportation
and Motor Vehicle Division to ensure the safe and efficient clearance of the
state’s transportation system.
· Active participation of all
industry members in the forming and making of policy decisions for the safe and
professional conduct of organization activities.
· Public relations program
developed with the objective of improving the industry’s credibility, raising
issue awareness and promoting unity among members.
· California’s association
mission sums the need perfectly: “The
CTTA was established to provide a means of united efforts in the solution of
problems, and to administer such action as might be deemed necessary to benefit
the individual, to communicate with government agencies on a state and local
basis, and to provide a concerted effort toward giving the industry a better
public image and the professional status it deserves.”
· Is there an unmet need of
individual towing companies that a cohesive organization could address?
