Women in Buses Council (WIB)

The Women in Buses (WIB) Council supports and advances women’s roles in the motorcoach industry through networking, education, and mentoring. Established in 2011 as a program of the American Bus Association, the Council has continued to grow, evolving its leadership, structure, and activities to strengthen its impact and meet its goals.

Meet & Eat Series | 1:00 PM ET

Gather, share, and network monthly with other Women in Buses Council members on the third Wednesday of each month.

Book Club

The idea for the book club was formed in 2020 to keep growing in knowledge, networking, and leadership throughout the year.



Currently, the Council’s membership is open to all industry members who actively support Women in Buses’ mission. The Council’s leadership team consists of thirteen members, including a Chair, Past Chair, Membership and marketing Chair, Membership Vice Chair, Marketing Vice Chair, Communications Vice Chair, three Committee Chairs/Vice Chairs, and Sponsor Liaison.


Nominations will open later in 2025 for the Women in Buses Award and the Women in Buses Operational Excellence Award. Motor Coach Industries presents both awards. These awards recognize an individual or company that has directly impacted the advancement and promotion of women within and among the motorcoach, tourism, and hospitality industries and who displays excellence in service to their organization.
