Ryhan Cornell, of ABC Companies, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Trailways Charter Bus Network.
A third-generation member of the founding family of ABC Companies, Cornell grew up within the family’s motorcoach business, gaining hands-on experience ranging from operational tasks at the Faribault, Minnesota, facility to vehicle detail work and parts management in Winter Garden, Florida during her high school years.
Upon graduating from college, Cornell began a career in the mortgage industry, but her passion for the bus industry drew her back to ABC Companies in 2009 as a sales associate, overseeing sales territories across Virginia, West Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky. As an account manager, she worked with both small operators and some of the largest clients in the country.
Beyond her work at ABC Companies, Cornell has participated on various industry-related boards, including the Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee motorcoach associations. She currently serves as a board member for Virginia and South Carolina motorcoach associations.
A mother of two, she actively participates in community service, notably with the Cannonball Kids’ Cancer Foundation.
“I am excited for Ryhan Cornell to join the board of directors of Trailways Charter Bus Network,” said Roman Cornell, CEO of ABC Companies. “Her in-depth industry knowledge, leadership acumen, and dedication to social causes position her as an invaluable asset for both ABC Companies and Trailways.”
