On
Tuesday, November 13, 2007,
Mark Scudder stepped down as a member of the Board of Directors
(the
"Board") of Covenant Transportation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the
"Company"). Mr. Scudder will remain outside corporate
counsel to the Company and will serve as a strategic advisor to
the
Board. In announcing the resignation, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer David Parker stated: "We have greatly appreciated
Mark’s service to the Board, which began contemporaneously with the
Company's initial public offering in 1994. As a result of
serving in a variety of strategic, legal, and financial capacities,
the
extent of Mark's relationship has grown to the point that we mutually
decided his resignation as a director would better allow him to
serve the
Company in multiple capacities. We look forward to a close and
continuing relationship with Mark."
Mr.
Scudder added: "I am
honored to have served on the Board of Directors for the past 13
years. Covenant has an exceptional team of great integrity, and
I could not have asked for a better relationship. I look
forward to continuing to serve the Company to the best of my ability
for
many years to come."
After
giving effect to Mr.
Scudder's resignation, the majority of the members of the Company's
Board
of Directors will continue to be independent.
