TRAA Announces New Executive Director and Director of Education

TRAA press release:

If there’s one thing that’s true, it’s that change is inevitable. After 12 years of dedicated service, Cynthia Martineau has decided to retire and submitted her resignation as TRAA’s Executive Director to the Board of Directors effective July of this year. Cynthia is leaving the association with big shoes to fill, having been instrumental to the success of the organization over the past many years.

After much thought and consideration, Elizabeth Martineau-Dupuis (TRAA’s Director of Education) has also elected to step away from the association in July. Owning and running a successful tree service business with her husband, her plate has simply become too full.

The good news is Bruce Bender of Ohio has accepted TRAA’s offer to take over as executive director in July. Many of you already know Bruce well from his position with the Towing and Recovery Association of Ohio (TRAO). Bruce has been actively involved with TRAA for years and is well positioned to take over the role.

TRAA President George Kuntz shares, “Bruce will give it his best to fill the losses. He has the knowledge and experience and comes well-recommended by Cynthia to fill the executive director position.”
