The Express Carriers Association (ECA), whose goal is to foster innovative networking between local/regional carriers and national shippers or vendors, will launch a Educational Series as part of the annual Marketplace Event beginning with the 2011 MarketPlace in Atlanta.
Jim Bernecker of Relay Express, who serves as the chair of the association's Education Committee made the announcement. "I am pleased to announce the launch of our Educational Series beginning in 2011. Our objective is to specially center these sessions around providing our membership additional tools to assist with their direct selling and retention efforts."
This year, sessions will be offered on "How to Present Your Company in 15 Minutes" and "How to Build and Maintain Long-Term Business Relationships." Bernecker also announced that Satish Jindel, of SJ Consulting Group, has been retained to lead the initial series.
"I am thrilled to have Mr. Jindel lead the launch of this series. Having had the privilege of hearing him speak in 2007, I was very impressed with his ideas and observations; he left a lasting impression with me."

His industry experience includes having a major role in the successful start-up and expansion of RPS (now FedEx Ground) into a nationwide package carrier. Other SJC services include corporate turnaround, industry benchmark studies, new products and services, and valuation on M&A deals for strategic and private equity investors.
