CHICAGO—March 16, 2022 (James Street Media Services)—The North American Rail Shippers Association (NARS) will host its annual meeting May 9–11, 2022 in Kansas City. The ongoing challenges of shipping commodities and goods will be the topic for the speakers and sessions.

“As we put together our program for the annual meeting, we are focusing on the very pressing issue of supply chain recovery," said NARS President Bruce Mann. "We know this is top of mind for everyone in the freight rail industry, and we are bringing together railroads, shippers, and regulators to offer insights on how we best move forward together."
