Mission
ILTA’s
mission is to—
- Provide
our members with essential informational tools to facilitate
regulatory compliance and improve operations, safety and
environmental performance;
- Offer
opportunities for relationship building, networking and knowledge
sharing; and
- Represent
the bulk liquid terminal industry before Congress and government
agencies.
Core Principles
ILTA
is committed to providing exceptional services to our members that add
value to their business operations.
We
constantly strive to align our resources with the needs of our members
and to test new ideas and institute change where appropriate.
ILTA
is dedicated to helping our members continually improve the safety of
their operations and the level of environmental responsibility
demonstrated at their facilities.
We
recognize the value of networking and knowledge sharing among peers as
an essential component of the professional development and job
satisfaction of terminal member employees.
Industry Advocate
From operational issues to environmental
regulations, ILTA is an advocate for its members.
We focus solely on one industry—the bulk liquid terminals that
store petroleum products and a wide variety of chemicals and other
commodities. We
understand the unique challenges confronting our members.
ILTA fully utilizes these advantages in serving as an advocate
for the bulk liquid terminal industry.
Shaping Public Policy
As
a trade association, we are able to pool the financial and technical
resources of our members in shaping the public policies that affect our
industry. Working with our
members, and often with other trade associations, we participate in
agency rulemaking proceedings and routinely engage in informal
discussions with regulators. By
helping government officials acquire a better understanding of how their
proposals impact our industry, ILTA has been effective in reducing
regulatory burdens on our members.
Annual
Operating Conference & Trade Show
Our
annual operating conference offers training seminars, safety education
courses and in-depth information on industry trends.
The trade show provides terminal operators with one-stop shopping
as they learn about new products and services during the largest annual
gathering of the storage tank industry.
Information and Issue Analysis
ILTA
educates and informs its members about important issues
impacting the terminal industry.
Through our publications, meetings, training courses, and
educational seminars, we serve as a reliable
information resource for our members.
We continuously work to identify critical issues facing terminals
and help our members resolve them.
