L to R: MLA Vice President Ray Gavino of Translogic Executive, President Len Joseph of On The Town Limousines, Secretary Japneet Suri of Executive CLS, and Treasurer Quentin Bassey of RSTQ Transportation
On Tuesday, October 22, the Maryland Livery Association (MLA) held their monthly membership meeting at Jimmy’s Famous Seafood in Baltimore. In addition to guest speakers, and a recap of the CD/NLA Show, the MLA held elections and announced their new executive board. Thirty members were in attendance.
The new MLA board is as follows:
- President: Len Joseph of On The Town Limousines
- Vice President: Ray Gavino of Translogic Executive
- Secretary: Japneet Suri of Executive CLS
- Treasurer: Quentin Bassey of RSTQ Transportation
The current executive board will serve until October 2026, and there are three board of director positions open that will be appointed in the coming weeks. Furthermore, the board is planning a meeting this week to organize a blueprint for the coming year.
In addition to the announcement of the new board, MLA welcomed Shane Shorter of Human Interest to speak about 401(k) and retirement programs for operators. Joseph also took some time to discuss the joint MLA and Virginia Limousine Association meeting in National Harbor at the Fall CD/NLA Show (a recap of the meeting can be found here). He also outlined the NLA's Best Practices for Commercial Auto Liability Insurance, which was developed by a team of operators to address the current challenges in the insurance marketplace. Several insurance company representatives were present at the meeting, including Bryan Johnson of the HILB Group, Alex Church of TIB Transportation Insurance Brokers, and Morgan Quinn of Philadelphia Insurance, and they participated in an informal roundtable discussion and answered questions from the membership.
With the association’s recent rebranding, a new MLA website is up and ready to navigate for members, vendors, and visitors. It features pertinent information of the organization’s history and growth, along with a MLA shop for purchase of MLA merchandise, including their new polo shirt.
