Automotive Service Association Seeks Applications for Executive Director 

Between now and Oct. 1, 2018, ASA is inviting interested and qualified candidates to submit their applications to lead the 67-year-old association.

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) is seeking a new executive director.
Between now and Oct. 1, 2018, ASA is inviting interested and qualified candidates to submit their applications to lead the 67-year-old association.
Roy Schnepper, ASA chairman of the board, will be heading the Nominating Committee efforts to find a new leader.
“Associations are undergoing enormous challenges due to generational shifts, social changes and technology,” said Schnepper. “It’s crucial that we find the right person who can be an industry leader and provide our association with a clear vision for our future.”
ASA has a vacancy in its executive director role due to the departure of Dan Risley, its former president/executive, who left to pursue an opportunity in his home state of Illinois. Beth Risch, the association’s current CPA, has been appointed as interim chief operating officer. Risley remains as a consultant to the association to provide continuity during the transition.

The Auto Care Association is applauding recent comments the FTC and DOJ made supporting renewal and expansion of exemptions facilitating consumers’ and businesses’ right to repair their own products.

"Auto Care Association supports the Joint Comment of the DOJ and the FTC encouraging the Librarian of Congress to renew and expand repair-related exemptions that would promote competition in markets for replacement parts, repair and maintenance services, as well as facilitate competition in markets for repairable products," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "In particular, on behalf of the entire automotive aftermarket, Auto Care Association agrees with the DOJ and the FTC that the Class 7 exemption to allow vehicle owners and repair facilities greater access to vehicle diagnostic and telematics data for monitoring purposes is critically important to lower the cost of repairs, improve access to repair services, and minimize costly and inconvenient delays."
