Private Corporate Executive Takes Lead with Anti-terrorism Effort
Corporate executive presents broad experience in leadership, public policy and crisis management.
New York (PRWEB) August 13, 2005 -- As a corporate officer in the trucking
industry, Terry M. Evans has overseen national and international over-the-road
trucking company operations, and successfully managed the startup of new
trucking operations in various states. As such he is extremely well versed in
the people, the players, the problems and the regulatory environment of the
trucking industry. On a daily basis he has dealt with the diverse concerns
brought forward by drivers, shippers, repair personnel, law enforcement,
regulators, civic leaders, members of the public, and representatives of other
carriers.
Out of this experience Mr. Evans has developed an understanding
of, sincere interest in and deeply-felt concern for the safety and well-being of
truckers and trucking companies in the face of national threats whose
consequences could severely impact the functioning of the transportation
industry and the supply-chain flows upon which our national economy now depends.
Mr. Evans holds particular empathy for the independent owner-operators, small
and medium-sized trucking companies who transport the great majority of our
nation’s goods and services, but who do not have the resources to creatively
contend on their own with these threats, and yet who are generally overlooked by
government-backed programs which tend to focus on the very large companies.
He feels very strongly that by pooling the knowledge of an advisory
group representing all disciplines associated with enhancing cost-effective
safety and security in the industry, with ideas contributed by thoughtful
members of the transportation community, regulators and the interested public at
large, the most efficient and effective programs and preventive measures can be
developed and offered to this audience. He also feels that such a knowledge base
will prove to be a great asset in providing a voice to inform policymakers in
developing their responses to terrorism and other threats as regards the
transportation industry.
Mr. Evans is particularly well qualified to be a
leader in this effort. In addition to his transportation industry experience, he
brings to bear two decades of prior experience in psychology and direct crisis
management. In this capacity he was directly responsible for coordinating with
many different agencies, worked directly with Law Enforcement, developed new
programs and secured funding and grants. He was also frequently personally
involved in resolving and defusing life-threatening and/or violent situations.
He also managed individual and group therapy sessions, and performed emergency
evaluations of troubled people.
Among the many very effective traits,
that complement Mr. Evans’ knowledge, leadership and experience in the industry,
are his extraordinary interpersonal, communication and training skills. Among
his more memorable experiences he counts providing course instruction to
physician interns at a major medical center, and providing the psychiatric
training for RN candidates at an associated nursing school. With a well-earned
knowledge of marketing thrown in, Mr. Evans is an experienced and masterful
public speaker, presenter and lobbyist.
As the founder and driving force
behind Fleet Defender, Mr. Evans has the will, the determination, the
organizational talents and the leadership skills to carry on as its most
effective advocate and spokesman.
