Wendy Buckley, president and founder of Specialty Transportation and Regulatory Services (STARS), was recently contacted by the federal government and asked to help a U.S. based company ship potentially dangerous chemicals to Africa that have been deemed vital in the battle against Ebola. Ms. Buckley was honored to help and recently oversaw the safe loading and shipping of the calcium hypochlorite powder onto a cargo ship bound for Liberia.
