Powering Performance

Jeff Antoine spends most of his time thinking about transportation, but every year he makes sure to attend AIAG's Customs Town Hall.

“The things that affect customs affect our customers,” says Antoine, director of corporate compliance for Carter Enterprise, and a 2019 Customs Town Hall attendee. “If it affects our customers, it affects us. It’s so important for us to stay up-to-date with this aspect of things so we can better serve. That’s why I’ve been coming here for the past 19 years. There no better way to stay informed.”

One of the most valued AIAG member benefits is the opportunity to serve on committees and workgroups, collaborating with some of the industry’s most innovative thinkers. AIAG’s Supply Chain team expresses its sincere gratitude to our volunteers for another fruitful year.
