On February 4th, the Transportation Management Association of Chester County held the Chairmen’s Reception, a networking event that gave the attendees a chance to meet the organization’s new Board members, mingle with TMACC staff, and network with other companies from the region.

Over 50 people were present at the event, which was sponsored by and held at Victory Brewing in Downingtown, and among them were County Commissioners Terence Farrell and Michelle Kichline, as well as state Representative Becky Corbin.
