The Coalition of New England Companies for Trade (CONECT) has named Geoffrey Giovanetti their 2013 Person of the Year, for his continuous contributions he has made to the US international trade and transportation communities.
After more than 30 years as the leader of WSSA, Geoff Giovanetti announced he will be retiring as of September 1st, 2013. Alison Leavitt, a long standing board member of CONECT, has been named as the new Managing Director of the Wine and Spirits Shippers Association.
The Wine & Spirits Shippers Association has been a leader in the beverage import industry for over 30 years. We are a trusted and reliable resource, committed to our members and their shipping needs.
Why should you choose WSSA as your shippers’ association? I’ll give you five significant reasons…
Low Freight Rates: By combining the shipment volumes of over 600 members, WSSA is able to negotiate low shipping rates with numerous ocean carriers. This purchasing power is the most effective force in keeping shipping costs low and stable.
