Ben Winter
2025-2026 NTEA Board Chair
Vice Chairman/Business Development Transfer Flow (Chico, California)
Let’s go! Time certainly does fly when you’re having fun. I can’t believe that six years ago, I was preparing to become a member of the NTEA Board. Now here we are now getting ready for Work Truck Week® 2026 (March 10–13, 2026, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, Indiana), where my term as NTEA Board chair will conclude. What an honor it’s been serving our industry alongside a talented group of professionals on the Board and within our member companies, and I appreciate the hard work and commitment NTEA brings to our commercial vehicle community as a premier organization.
