  • Virtual Member Meetups

    • Date: 2/4/2026

    Last Wednesday, Daniela Fietta and Kristen Canfield hosted LRW's first virtual member meet-up, bringing together participants from across North America. We kicked things off with insights from Tanya Mahbubani, AVP of Strategy at CN, who shared her perspective on 2026 rail trends—including global uncertainties, growth opportunities, emerging technologies, and the value of a strong customer-service mindset. Our breakout sessions gave members the chance to connect, exchange ideas, and reflect on industry shifts from their own vantage points. We were also thrilled to welcome our newest corporate partner, Wi-Tronix, who joined as a collective viewing group. Don't miss our February virtual meet-up! We'll be diving into your 2026 career goals—sharing stories, offering feedback, and tapping into the strength of our community for inspiration and support. Register today and be part of the conversation!
