Former IANA Board Member to Receive 2015 Silver Kingpin CALVERTON, MD - The Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) announced today that Clarence Gooden, executive vice president & chief commercial officer of CSX Corporation, will be honored with the 2015 IANA Silver Kingpin Award at this year’s Intermodal EXPO in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Gooden will receive his award during the opening session on September 21 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/ Broward County Convention Center. The Silver Kingpin Award, the intermodal industry’s most prestigious, recognizes an individual’s long-term contributions to intermodalism. It was initiated in 1977. During a career spanning more than 45 years, Gooden has played an integral role in the growth of CSX’s intermodal business, applying a visionary approach while focusing upon customer engagement. From 1993 to 2001 he served as president of CSX Intermodal. Among his accomplishments, Gooden was instrumental in the creation of the NACS free-running container program. He has been equally committed to enabling the success of company partners, and examples of his achievements in this area have included the launch of an annual eBusiness Customer Forum, a first for the industry, as well as improved business-to-business data-sharing. “Clarence has been instrumental not only in growing CSX, but in helping to advance our industry as a whole,” said Joni Casey, IANA President and CEO. “His dedication and commitment to intermodalism has made him a strong advocate for our association.” Gooden served two terms on the IANA board of directors and is active in several other industry and community organizations, including the National Freight Transportation Association, the TTX Corporation, the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art and the National Association of Manufacturers.
