NATM Hires Alex Stowe as Technical Director

NATM is excited to announce that Alex Stowe joined the staff as technical director in November. As technical director, Stowe oversees all technical programs and committees of the Association. He works directly with the executive director to evaluate regulatory and technical issues applicable to the light- and medium-duty trailer industry.

Stowe received his Juris Doctorate with a concentration in business transactions from the University of Nebraska College of Law. His background in compliance stems from experience working in highly regulated areas where he was responsible for regulation interpretation, violation summary reporting, and reviewing regulations relating to NCAA bylaws and HIPAA compliance. In his free time, he volunteers with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and enjoys traveling with his fiancée, Abby, and their three dogs.

As the technical director, Alex is responsible for oversight of the compliance, technical and technology committees, as well as the compliance verification program. He looks forward to promoting trailer safety by keeping NATM’s members informed about compliance with regulations, industry standards and best practices, and by connecting members with valuable education and resources.

“I am excited for the opportunity to collaboratively work with members and assist with questions relating to trailer compliance” said Alex.

Welcome Alex to the Association by phone at (785) 272-4433 or by email, Alex.Stowe@natm.com.
