The Automotive Management Institute (AMI) has welcomed Dan Risley to its Board of Trustees. Risley is executive director for the Automotive Service Association (ASA) and assumed the association’s permanent board position in June.
"AMI has a long, storied history with ASA, and I’m glad to continue building upon that relationship," Risley said. "AMI’s ability to continually deliver high quality education and content that is relative to today’s business is a testament to their reputation in the industry. I’m grateful to be able to contribute to their ongoing success.”
