The NDTA Foundation

The NDTA Fou io Where the Scholarship Money Really Goes

By Sharon Lo, Director of Public Relations, NDTA

It comes as a big surprise to many of our members that NDTA has been operating a foundation that has made frequent contributions to the Association’s success for decades. In fact, the NDTA Foundation celebrated its 50-year anniversary in 2011.

A couple years ago, several very well-known charities got in trouble for the amount of the money they earned that was actually going to good use (or, more accurately, not going to good use). Many had high overhead costs and, in some cases, as little as ten cents of every dollar was actually going toward their cause. Having worked for a non-profit for nearly eight years, I can certainly understand that these organizations need money to operate. However, even I was shocked at these numbers, and moreover, I was disappointed that donors’ hard-earned and wellintended money was not being used as they thought it would. When I sat down to write this article, it was important for me to let you know exactly where your donations to the NDTA scholarship funds go—to deserving students. You see, when you make a donation to the NDTA Scholarship Fund, one hundred percent of the money actually goes to funding scholarships. To help provide a more in-depth look into exactly where these funds go, a few of our past scholarship winners have agreed to share their stories with us.

LT Jason D. Weeks, US A NDTA Scholarship Recipient 2008

Thanks to the scholarship from NDTA, as well as my Army ROTC scholarship, I had the means to graduate from Auburn University with a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering and receive my commission from the Army as a Second Lieutenant in the Transportation Corps. Upon completion of the Basic Officer Leadership Course at Fort Lee, VA, I reported to B Co, 426 BSB, 1 BCT, 101 ABN DIV (AASLT) and served as a Platoon Leader for 19 months. I was able to train as a multi-functional logistician here at Fort Campbell, as well as at Fort Knox and Fort Polk during a Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) Rotation prior to deploying to Jalalabad Airfield in support of Operation Enduring Freedom XIV. Thanks to the tuition assistance, I was able to accomplish one of the most rewarding opportunities— leading soldiers. I continue to lead soldiers as the Executive Officer in the Forward Support Company for 2-327th IN REG “NO SLACK” for 1 BCT. And whether I embark on another deployment with the Bastogne Brigade, go on to Captain’s Career Course at Fort Lee, VA, or transition to the civilian workforce to be an Industrial Engineer for (hopefully) an automotive company, ultimately, I would never have had these enormous opportunities without the help of the NDTA.

Tiffany Chen NDTA Scholarship Recipient 2007

In 2007, I decided to graduate early. I consolidated three semesters worth of credits into two, signing a form with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business stating that I understood the crazy course load and would not sue the school if I physically hurt myself in the process. Nobody got hurt. That same year, the National Defense Transportation Association awarded me the NDTA Scholarship for my studies in logistics, transportation, and supply chain management. Little did I know that the NDTA Scholarship would pave the way for my future personal endeavors at both the IBM and Deloitte Federal Consulting Practices. Both companies were impressed by my academic and internship achievements (US Senate, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, USPS, UPS, etc.). However, in both final interviews, they specifically congratulated me on my NDTA Scholarship, remarking that it was a significant achievement and made me a high-profile candidate. Now, seven years later, my resume speaks to numerous hands-on, client-facing experiences and a resume filled with strategy, Lean Six Sigma, Systems Thinking, program management, budget and resource management, international training curriculum development, among other skills. As I finish the final semesters of my Masters in International Management – International Finance, I enter into a new phase of my professional career. I look forward to bringing my strengths and experiences to new industries and solving many more mission-critical questions. earn a dual degree in marketing because so many of the classes were interrelated. During my freshman year, I was lucky enough to get good scholarship assistance from the University of Maryland. However, in my sophomore year tuition rates were raised significantly mid-year. This caused real hardship on students, even causing some to drop out or take less credits. For me, my NDTA Scholarship helped makes staying at the University of Maryland possible. If I had not received scholarship assistance, I would have likely had to transfer back to a school in my home state of Ohio. Had that happened, my life as I know it—living in Maryland, working as a manager for a government contractor—would be quite different. It’s amazing what a difference scholarships can make for students. My best advice to students currently in school is to get involved. My affiliation with NDTA not only helped me earn scholarship money, but it also helped me attend the NDTA Forum. The connections I have made through NDTA are still important to me today. Building relationships is an important aspect of getting your foot in the door. Helping to set up an event at the business school, I met someone who worked for IBM. That person took my resume and gave it to somebody they knew, who then hired me. That was my first job out of school and I never would have gotten it had I not been able to remain at the University of Maryland, and had I not put myself out there. While studying and perfecting your papers is important, taking advantage of opportunities to network could ultimately have a greater impact on your future. Because of this, I am still an active Young Leaders member of the NDTA Baltimore Chapter, and attend Washington, DC Chapter meetings as well.

Dan Marks NDTA Scholarship Recipient 2005

With a father who sold business analytics software and a stepfather who was a steel plant manager, I grew up understanding both the technical and warehouse side of the supply chain, so when I went to college majoring in supply chain management it was a good fit. I was even able to

Christine Trovato NDTA Scholarship Recipient 1999

I had an internship for an organization that helped raise awareness for current social issues such as the environment and human rights. I attended Loyola University in New Orleans where I completed both my undergraduate and law degrees. Scholarships helped me leave the State of Iowa for school, and attend a private institution where I was one of 3,500, not one in tens of thousands. I enjoyed the smaller atmosphere where nearly everyone knew everyone else. It allowed me to find who I was and make some really good relationships with people, including teachers. It made me want to go to law school and help people. My parents helped me pay for my education. Without scholarship money, I would have had to consider less expensive alternatives, likely a state school as opposed to a private school. When looking to go to college, every little amount helps. School admissions and scholarships are highly competitive. Students have to work hard, but still allow time to enjoy themselves—you work to live, you don’t live to work. I currently work as an Assistant State Attorney for the State of Florida (prosecutor for the State Attorney’s Office for Sixteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Monroe County, Florida). Without my college and law degrees I would not be where I am today. Without an education, you can still contribute to the effort, but your ability to be on the front lines is diminished. DTJ

To each of these scholarship recipients: congratulations on your success. Helping you achieve your educational goals is what the Foundation is all about. To each of you who has donated to the scholarship fund over the years: thank you! I hope that reading these accounts about the impact of NDTA’s Scholarships gives you a sense of pride and the satisfaction that your contribution has made a difference. We look forward to supporting our students for generations to come.

T. Joseph Mattingly II , PharmD, MBA Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Maryland School of Pharmacy

On May 17, 2014, I received word that my great-uncle Guy passed away. In the logistics and transportation community, he was known as Dr. Joe Mattingly. Growing up, my grandfather would tell stories of his brother, but I was too young to remember my great-uncle during his prime. It was not until this year I began to understand the impact that Dr. Joseph Guy Mattingly, Jr. had on students at the University of Maryland, College Park and on the transportation industry.

Earlier this year, I was offered an opportunity to join the faculty of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy located in Baltimore. When I told the news to my grandfather, he got really excited, pulled a dusty publication from his desk and handed me what turned out to be an issue of the Defense Transportation Journal from 1984. He went on to explain that the sweet family man I always knew as “Uncle Guy” was also a retired military officer, professor emeritus to a renowned business school, and former editor of the publication for the National Defense Transportation Association. He laughed and said, “Now you see Joey, you are a legacy at the University of Maryland!”

Upon hearing the news of Guy’s death, I reached out to faculty and staff at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, as well as the DTJ. Almost immediately I received several emails of fond memories and wonderful stories about my great-uncle. Dr. Thomas Corsi, Professor of Logistics at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, wrote, “There was a special place in his heart for the logistics profession. He sacrificed much to provide dedicated service to our nation by tackling huge logistics challenges for the military all over the world. Yet, he never let his military obligations diminish his dedication to his family.” My great-uncle displayed the kind of work-life balance

that we all wish to achieve. As our careers advance, we are constantly pulled in different directions but Dr. Mattingly demonstrated how career and family success do not have to be mutually exclusive.

As I continued to read through the emails, a sense of authenticity stood out. Brian Horick, Assistant Dean at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, wrote, “I was always amazed at how quickly he could reason through any situation and provide excellent advice or determine an appropriate course of action. He didn’t always give you the news you wanted to hear, but he provided you the news that you needed to hear.” Leadership requires the right amount of candor to be effective and from the comments it was obvious that many colleagues and students respected my great-uncle’s honesty.

Finally, a reoccurring theme from the messages regarding experiences with Dr. Mattingly was passion. Dr. William DeWitt, Executive Director and Clinical Professor of the Intermodal Transportation Institute from the University of Denver, wrote, “I hope in some small way I can carry and pass on the passion that I found so inspiring in Joe.” Many of us possess the skills necessary to complete a task, but having the passion and dedication to go above and beyond separates greatness from mediocrity.

The logistics and transportation industry lost a great advocate and leader this year and our family lost a loving husband/ father/grandfather/brother/uncle. Personally, my great-uncle serves as role model for what I can strive to be, and will forever be reminded of him each time I sign my name. Dr. Mattingly’s career and personal accomplishments were impressive, but pale in comparison to the legacy left through the lives he touched. While we mourn his death, his life will continue to inspire us to find balance, be authentic, and to exude passion throughout all of our endeavors. DTJ

The Aviators by Winston Groom

The Aviators by Winston Groom (National Geographic Society, 2013), ISBN-13: 9781426211560, 464 pages, Hardcover, $30.00). T he Aviators tells the saga of three extraordinary aviators—Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacker, and Jimmy Doolittle—who defined aviation during the great age of flight. These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival-at-sea. Interestingly, during the 1920s and 1930s, these men were celebrities. Yet, with the world in peril in World War II, each set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet. Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the daring Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor; Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific; and Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom’s rich narrative tells their intertwined stories—from broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive it); barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II; front-page triumph to anguished tragedy; and near-death to ultimate survival—as all took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the “greatest generation.” (From the publisher) DTJ

stitutes for face to face conversations. It is critical to have personal connections with as broad a network as possible. You get things done through people. Being able to connect personally with an individual you met through a professional organization last month, last year, or five years ago is powerful. My life is full of stories where personal contact and a professional relationship enabled me to get answers quickly or improve professionally. Recently, I received a request from an NDTA member for assistance accessing a location in a completely different part of the world. I put them in contact with another NDTA member, who then called another personal contact, who in turn contacted the person who had the initial request and provided the needed information. This happened in less than one hour—because of personal connections. I am asking each NDTA member who reads this column to recruit at least one new member this year. Information on membership is available on our website www.ndtahq.com.

And while my intent in writing this is to provide membership insights to our members at large, taking advantage of the networking and professional development opportunities I have mentioned is something I recommend all NDTA members do! DTJ
