NTEA


During Work Truck Week 2024, Jason Ritchey, president/owner of Curry Supply Co. (Altoona, Pa.), was installed as 60th Board chair of NTEA — The Work Truck Association. He accepted the position from immediate past board chair David Scheitlin, director of operations at Holman Manufacturing & Distribution (Roanoke, Ind).

"The work truck industry plays such an important role in our economy and the work that gets done where we all live and do business," said Ritchey. "It's such an honor to be a part of — and serve — the people and the businesses that make up this special community."

Ritchey has spent nearly 25 years in the work truck industry, and has served as president and owner of Curry Supply Co. since 2011.

His educational background includes a Master of Business Administration degree from Saint Francis University, specialized study in business law at Penn State University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of Young Presidents' Organization (Pittsburgh and Scottsdale chapters), the Duquesne Club, the Penn State Nittany Lion Club and the Jaffa Shriners. He also serves as a Caterpillar AVP Board member.

He sought NTEA Board involvement to offer his insights, business expertise and to give something back to this industry. He envisioned NTEA creating a new approach to engage the younger generation and make them aware of opportunities available in the industry, as well as emphasizing a focus on advanced education with an innovative curriculum designed to encourage continuous learning.

Since being elected to NTEA's Board in 2018, Ritchey has worked to further Association and industry progress. In addition to serving on the executive committee, in recent years he's chaired the finance & investment committee, services committee, board development & recruitment committee, business development committee and member verification program task force. In addition, he's been involved with the education committee, chassis liaison committee and operating/affiliate division governance working group.
