Carol Ballard was Associated Terminals’ very first employee and one of the most dedicated team members we’ve ever had. She had a huge heart and was always giving back. After her passing in 2009, we created the Carol Ballard Scholarship Program to continue her legacy of generosity—helping the children of our employees as they pursue their college dreams.
