Interested in bECOMING COMMITTEE/COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER Leader?
Leadership Days meetings are intended for the official volunteer leaders for each community/committee.Non-volunteer leaders may attend as guests (to noted open meetings) and we always look forward to welcoming new volunteer leaders for the future.
Auto Care Association communities help you connect with like-minded professionals and collaborate to help advance every corner of the auto care industry. Advisory committees are comprised of volunteer leaders who provide input and guidance to the board and staff, and act as an industry sounding board.
Applications to join our advisory committees open in September for 3-year terms starting in January. Committee assignments are made by the chairman of the board, with input from the association’s staff and leadership.
To participate as a community member, choose and join a community here and the Auto Care Association liaison to that community can share more information.
