Speaker: Jim Schiffler

Description: Jim is the retired president of North Central Bus & Equipment (Blue Bird dealer in MN & SD) and Sunburst Transit (student transportation contractor).  He is a champion of organizational culture, having created an atmosphere where individuals feel safe, respected, valued and know, “they are making a difference”.  His new book, “Stepping Up: from valued employee to supervisor” is making a difference in the lives of aspiring leaders who are listening to their inner voice saying, “I’m not good enough” and are afraid to step up into a supervisory role.  He will help you identify and qualify your next generation of leaders. 

Description: Over 1,000 school transportation professionals will attend the STN EXPO Trade Show, including manufacturers, OEMs and suppliers offering new and existing products, solutions and services that help transporters perform their jobs better and more efficiently. These exhibiting companies will connect with professionals who transport children of all ages, sizes and distinctions, and who prepare specifications for products and services, make final decisions on purchases, and are responsible for recommending purchases.
