Members of the Western Highway Institute will set the group’s research agenda at its annual meeting in San Francisco from Dec. 5 to 7.

Also on the table is the 52-year-old group’s relationship with American Trucking Associations, which WHI affiliated with in 1993.

“We will be defining plans on how to strengthen our relationship with ATA and developing a work plan responsive to the needs of our members,” said Sharon D. Nichols, WHI’s executive director and an ATA vice president.

The 100 WHI members expected to attend the conference will hear about the changing demographics, economy and politics of the western United States and their impact on trucking operations and finances.
