For the fourth year, 40 of the industry's future leaders were honored at the Inland Marine Expo with the "40 Under 40" award, which recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the inland marine transportation industry in a variety of fields. All 40 honorees were nominated by executives and peers for their hard work and dedication to the industry. Over the course of 10 weeks, The Waterways Journal is featuring all 40 recipients. This week we recognize Valerie Cof-felt, Kasey Cummings, Bart Disher and Alex Dyba. Valerie Coffelt, 36, is director of deck personnel for Marquette Transportation in Paducah, Ky. She started at Marquette in an administrative assistant in the crew-ing department in 2008, maintaining records and assisting crew managers in their duties. At the time the company had 30 boats. "Her desire to learn and her dedication were not unnoticed, and she was promoted to crew manager in 2010," said Kelm Burchard, general manager. |
