Brentwood, Tenn.

Rogacki has accepted the position of president of the Columbus Importers and Brokers Association (CIBA). Oses has accepted the position of president for a second term for the Florida Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association, Inc. (FCBF).

Rogacki has been involved in the brokerage industry for 17 years and has been a member of CIBA for five years. CIBA is an organization dedicated to promoting and advancing international trade in Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding areas. During 2008, she served as a program director for the association.

“Debbie is an excellent choice for CIBA president because she is knowledgeable of CIBA by-laws and the broker and importing community at large,” said Charlene Whitfield, CIBA treasurer. “She appreciates the importance of CIBA and works to keep the association working in the right direction.”

Oses, OHL regional sales manager, has been an active member of FCBF for 26 years. Oses also serves on the International Trade Consortium (ITC) of Miami-Dade County, Florida, and has recently been appointed chair of the ITC Internal Management and Marketing Committee.

Through the organizations, our people stay informed and involved in the current issues impacting our customers and our industry,” said Larry Antonucci, president, OHL Global Freight Management and Logistics, Americas. “We are proud of Debbie and Albert and congratulate them on their recent accomplishments.”

The Florida Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association, Inc., is a statewide association that fosters communication between the logistics and trade community and federal agencies.
