Jonna Sabroff, a former GCLA First Vice President and board director, received the group's highest honor, the GCLA Lifetime Achievement Award. Sabroff, the co-owner and CEO of Integrated Transportation Services (ITS) of Los Angeles, served on the board for four years and has been instrumental in helping the association strategize and communicate on legislative and regulatory issues.

Christopher Quinn, also a former First Vice President, received the GCLA's Outstanding Service Award for his leadership contributions to the organization. Quinn is the owner and CEO of Corporate Transportation Solutions (CTS) of Sacramento, a 2009 LCT Operator Of The Year Award winner.

Victory Number #1: The GCLA ended the year by increasing overall membership from 140 in 2010 to 225 in December 2011.

Victory Number #2: The next challenge facing the GCLA in 2011 was dealing with the San Francisco Airport Green Vehicle Conversion Program. The program if implemented would have had a dramatic negative impact to all operators. A 6 year aging program and a Vehicle Conversion Program that would have basically imposed a penalty phase on nearly all vehicles used by the ground transportation industry in California. The GCLA legal team with assistance from the NLA legal team were able to stop this program before being presented to the San Francisco Airport Commission.

On behalf of the GCLA board of directors I would like to publicly thank all the sponsors of the 2011 EXPO for helping to make this the best EXPO ever. A very special thanks to Mercedes Benz for being the offical EXPO sponsor. Additionally, we would like to thank the other Premium, Gold and Silver sponsors for their financial support and for pitching in to bring this event together.

A special thanks goes out to all who attended the EXPO and joined the GCLA during the run up to this event. Our membership is growing as operators and vendors in the livery industry realize that the GCLA is not just looking out for you on the legislative level but working to make doing business in Califronia as profitable and pleasent as possible. Your participation in the EXPO made it an incredible event.

Sincerely,
Mark Stewart
President - Greater California Livery Association
