Congratulations Victoria!

International logistics is the chain that stretches through a number of different businesses, connecting the experts and professionals across the chain, the supply chain. Coppersmith has been a strong link in the supply chain for more than seven decades precisely because we’re dedicated to empowering our team when they are working, volunteering, or advocating for the industry.

One of the largest advocacy organizations in logistics is the NCBFAA (National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America). Understanding the size and scope of the NCBFAA, it is with overwhelming pride and congratulations that we at Coppersmith applaud our very own Victoria Lane, Vice President of Corporate Compliance, and recently elected Vice President of the NCBFAA.
