WISTA USA Wears the Red, White and Blue at Paris Conference
Jeanne M. Grasso, partner in Blank Rome's maritime practice and president of WISTA USA, was quoted in an a recent Journal of Commerce article about the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA) annual conference, held in Paris, France on October 3-5.
Ms. Grasso noted that, “It is always a thrill to gather with other WISTA associations and exchange knowledge and experience on key industry issues,” and that, “Running an international conference, and meeting the needs of the organization, is a difficult task, as we learned when we hosted this event in New Orleans in 2008. Our hats are off to WISTA France for their excellent hospitality and for putting on a terrific event.”
WISTA is an international organization for women in management positions involved in the maritime transportation business and related trades worldwide. It is a major player in attracting more women to the industry and in supporting women in leadership positions. To learn more about WISTA, please click here.
