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.
