Tim Dietz, SSA Sr VP - Communications & Government Relations made a surprise visit at our 1st Quarter Luncheon in Chattanooga on Tuesday. As it turns out, he was there to honor our very own Sherry Cole!
Sherry, who has served as our Legislative Committee Chairperson for several years now, was instrumental in the development of the new Tennessee Lien Laws that were enacted in 2011. She put in countless volunteer hours revising our then 30-year-old laws into what we use today. Not only do our new laws provide considerable cost-saving changes for our owner/operators but it also simplifies the lien procedures and brings clarification to the many gray ares of the old law. Our new lien laws now serve as a guide to other states as they work to make similar changes in their current laws.
We greatly appreciate Sherry and all of the hard work and dedication that she continues to give to our association!
Congratulations to Sherry for this achievement award!!!
