TRAA Change in Leadership

George Kuntz

On July 11, the Towing and Recovery Association of America (TRAA) reported that William E. Johnson had resigned from his position as TRAA president for personal reasons. “While this is difficult, we sincerely wish him well in all his endeavors and greatly appreciate his many contributions to TRAA over the years,” stated a TRAA press release.

“As we now have a vacancy, the Executive Cabinet is currently in the process of filling the position. Per TRAA’s bylaws, the Executive Cabinet will elect a qualified candidate by majority vote and the incumbent will be up for ratification during the fall Board of Directors meeting (Article IV, Section 11).”

On July 16, TRAA issued an update:

“We are pleased to announce that George Kuntz from North Dakota has been unanimously elected by the Executive Cabinet to fill the vacant position of TRAA president. Having served on TRAA’s Executive Cabinet for many years, George is extremely qualified and ideally positioned to step into the role. Additionally, the Executive Cabinet has elected Jeff Roskopf, TRAA president from 4/2015-4/2019, to the 1st vice president role that George has now vacated.

“Per our bylaws, both appointments will be up for ratification during the Fall Board of Directors meeting (Article IV, Section 11).”
