Lisa Mullings, president and CEO of the National Association of Truck Stop Operators (NATSO), is stepping down from those roles and will depart the association at the end of 2024, she said. NATSO leadership will appoint an interim CEO, the group said.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve the travel center and truck stop industry.

“This decision was not made lightly, but it reflects my desire to explore new opportunities and challenges. NATSO is stronger than ever, thanks to the dedication and talent of our staff, members and board. I have no doubt that NATSO’s best days are still ahead, and I’ll always be proud to have been part of its journey,” she added.
“During my 11 months as NATSO’s chairman, I have personally witnessed Lisa’s unwavering commitment to this industry, its members and NATSO’s dedicated staff,” said NATSO Chairman of the Board Joe Zietlow, industry and trade association manager at Kwik Trip Inc., La Crosse, Wisconsin. “She has predicated her career on serving generations of truck stops and travel centers, including many of the industry’s founding families and members. History demonstrates that NATSO and its members are resilient and will evolve to meet the growing needs of its membership.”
