events committee

The Auto Care Association Events Committee serves as the principal advisory committee for AAPEX and HDAW, as well as initiatives to create additional events, both Domestic and International. The Events Committee will advise the Auto Care Association Board of Directors on policies and programs that impact events revenue; provide direction on events in emerging markets; take advantage of opportunities to promote the Auto Care Association; and execute strategy to maintain the health and relevance of all events.
     
The Events Committee is curated to represent a mix of the industry including retailers, WD's, shop owners, a variety of manufacturing types and more. Committee members are selected to represent the association's member interest in AAPEX, HDAW or new event matters. A primary consideration is the individual members’ knowledge and expertise of their industry and matters relevant to the work of the committee.
