Chattahoochee Technical College recently welcomed local business leader Lewis Collum to the college’s Board of Directors.

With more than 30 years of transportation and logistical experience, Collum currently serves as the chief financial officer of Taylor Transport in Cartersville. He was instrumental in developing Taylor Transport from a small trucking company that provided local services into a company that now serves 48 states. He also serves on the board of directors for Fleet Solutions Limited and the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. An active member of the community, Collum recently completed his term on the Board of Directors for the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce. His community service also includes having served Chattahoochee Tech as a college’s Diesel Technology Advisory Council member.

Chattahoochee Tech President Dr. Ron Newcomb said that the college is intentionally ramping up its focus on workforce development in this critical industry. He believes Collum will help them get this done.
