Mr. LaMothe was awarded this honor in recognition of the many contributions he has made to the transportation industry in Kansas City and across the country. He has served as a leader in the industry in many capacities, including Chairman of International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA), formerly the American Warehouse Association, in 1980; Chairman of the International Federation of Public Warehousing Association in 1988; and President of the Kansas City Warehouse Association, Missouri Warehouse Association and the Mid-America Warehouse Association early in his career. Mid-West Terminal Warehouse Company is a public warehouse and Missouri River terminal operator and an industrial real estate developer located in Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. LaMothe was sent to Kansas City in 1963 by his father, Charles J. LaMothe, CEO of St. Louis Terminal Warehouse Company to run the company’s Kansas City operations. Since that time Mr. LaMothe has developed over two million square feet of industrial warehouse space in Kansas City and built the Kansas City Municipal Wharf to be one of the largest public terminals on the Missouri River. Rod LaMothe is the third Mid-West Terminal employee to receive KCTA’s Person of the Year award. Loren Lundy received the honor in 1972 and John Madgett received the honor in 1989. Through his leadership and involvement in groups such as the Northeast Industrial Association and the Kansas City Industrial Council Mr. LaMothe has been a integral part of the development and growth of the Greater Kansas City Area.
