Brenda Darwent, ITMA Vice President

Prior to being elected by the board to fill a sudden vacancy in December, 2006, Brenda Darwent served as Hospitality Director of I.T.M.A. where her performance was, in a word, brilliant.

Darwent was born in Talara, Peru, but has lived most of her life in Texas and, of course, speaks Spanish & English fluently. When she moved to Houston in 1995, a friend told her about an open position at a local freight forwarder that had just been awarded a project in Chile. The job qualifications were perfect for Brenda.

Darwent has worked extensively in a variety of project forwarding assignments as well as in commercial sales. She is a Sales Representative with Emo Trans USA, Inc., and is responsible for supporting air and ocean freight export clients in the company's Middle East market.
