The Industrial Truck Association (ITA) will hold its 2012 spring meeting with numerous committee sessions on 19-21 March in Washington.

"Through meetings of its numerous committees, ITA seeks to bring its members together to discuss items of common interest," says James Moran, ITA chairman and senior vice president of Crown Equipment Corp in New Bremen, Ohio.

The opening day gatherings include the suppliers' breakfast and meeting and subcommittee sessions for electric power and systems; energy storage systems; accessories; attachments, forks, masts and hydraulic systems; air quality; and tyres, wheels and casters.

On the second day, the general engineering committee meets for a breakfast and reporting and working sessions.

The Washington-based Propane Education & Research Council will sponsor the 20 March reception.

Moran, as ITA chairman, will present state-of-the-association remarks at a breakfast meeting on 21 March.

Brian Feehan became ITA president on 15 September and chief staff officer on 1 January (Forkliftaction.com News #548).

The Washington-based ITA represents the manufacturers of forklifts and other materials handling equipment and their suppliers who do business in Canada, the US or Mexico.
