OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, proudly received the 2023 American Trucking Association’s (ATA) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Change Leader Award.

Established in 2022, this award highlights ATA members who make a commitment to a culture of acceptance and belonging for their employees. The goal of the award is to encourage innovation that supports continued improvement in the industry’s longstanding commitment to equal opportunity. The ATA currently has a membership of more than 35,000 companies and eight industry leaders received recognition for their efforts.

"It’s a great honor receiving this recognition from the ATA because we take pride in fostering an inclusive workplace that encourages all associates to bring their whole self to work,” said Werner’s Chairman, President and CEO, Derek Leathers. “Inclusion serves as one of our core values here at Werner where we understand diversity contributes to innovation and connects us to the many communities we serve.”
