Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) Names New Board Members for 2024

In early 2026, the legacy International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW) and the International Refrigerated Transportation Association (IRTA) formally merged under the GCCA banner, creating one cohesive alliance focused squarely on delivering value to every member across the global cold chain and allowing GCCA to sharpen its mandate and deepen its impact. 

January 9, 2024

The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), recently announced its new board of directors roster for the warehouse division. Board members are volunteer leaders and responsible for governing, developing policy, and setting a course for the future. The board focuses on advancing the mission, vision, and strategic goals of the organization.
 
 The GCCA Warehouse Board voted to elect Jason Dreisbach from Dreisbach Enterprises, as their 2024 chairman; Tim Ludwig from Bradner Cold Storage as vice chairman; and Francisco Moura from IceStar as treasurer. Michael J. McClendon from Lineage Logistics will serve as immediate past chairman.
 
 For the GCCA Warehouse Directors-at-large positions, the GCCA membership approved the following slate of candidates to serve three-year teams starting January 1:

  • Scott Albers, Nor-Am Cold Storage [renominated]
  • Rich Burke, Konoike-Pacific (KPAC) [renominated]
  • Paul Gibbons, Commercial Cold Holdings [new]
  • West Hutchison, Vertical Cold Storage [new]
  • Andrew Lawrence, Magnavale [new]
  • Nicholas Pedneault, Congebec Logistics [renominated]
  • Karen Reece, Eskimo Cold Storage [renominated]

“I am honored to be chairman this year,” said Dreisbach. “And look forward to working with my fellow board members to continue to advance the value GCCA offers to its members and the entire cold chain community.”
 
The GCCA Warehouse Board would like to thank outgoing Board Members Manuel Kabana from Friopuerto Investment and Tim Siddiq from Vertical Cold Storage for their thought leadership and commitment to the association during their time as board members.
