"I am honored and delighted to have been selected to lead this great organization for the next year," Mayfield said. He brings strong experience to IWLA. Since joining Kenco as CEO in 1999, the company has experienced double-digit growth and is now one of the largest family-owned and privately-held 3PL solutions provider in the United States. Kenco serves more than 200 clients in 31 states and Canada, with 100 facilities and 25 million square feet of warehouse space. The company's core capabilities are warehousing and distribution, transportation management, materials handling equipment, assembly, cartoning, labeling, reverse logistics, packaging, engineering services, metal cutting, fabricating and project management.
Mayfield's expertise in warehousing, transportation and value-added services is founded on more than 30 years of supply chain experience with 3PLs and manufacturing companies.
"The momentum for IWLA has been really building each year with Jere Van Puffelen and previous chairmen steadying the ship and getting it moving in the right direction," Mayfield said. His top priorities as IWLA chairman will be increasing membership recruitment and retention; getting members more involved in the association-including associate members; and improving communication of IWLA's government affairs activities at the federal and state levels, as well as its educational, product and service opportunities.
In addition to IWLA, Mayfield is an active member of the Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) and Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP).
