Auto Team America (ATA) is a network of eleven CPA firms serving over 2,000 dealerships nationwide (see http://autoteamcpa.com/ for more info). Auto Team America membership is restricted to firms with over 30 dealership clients. This provides an extensive reference base, allowing the firms to concentrate on the specific issues pertinent to dealership operations. What is the purpose of the ATA CEO/CFO FORUM? ATA CEO/CFO Forum was designed to bring a wide variety of timely educational programming to dealers, strategies and perspectives which can assist them in their day-to-day operations. Past topics have included private equity, industry innovation, regulation compliance, employee retention and team building, information security, industry forecasts, franchise relations, and fraud prevention, among others. The Forum enhances the NADA experience, and in past years has drawn between 200 and 400 dealers, general managers and industry executives from across the US and Canada. With an industry seeing some positive signs ahead, there’s one question all dealers are asking: How can my dealership position itself on the way up? Consolidation, industry bailouts, dealership closings, and the changing priorities of the American consumer have re-made the auto industry during these times of financial turmoil. How can you prepare for the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities? Our featured speakers are Joe Herman, Erich J. Merkel, and David L. Zuchowski. Joe Herman of Kuni Automotive, is an industry insider who will provide insights on automotive dealership management strategies. Erich J. Merkel is a product strategy communicator at Ford Motor Company. David L. Zuchowski of Hyundai Motor America will offer his perspective from the manufacturer’s side. Following their presentations, a panel of experts, moderated by Jay Ferriero, will share their perspectives on today’s auto business. We are thrilled to welcome panelists including David G. Braun of Comerica Bank, Michael Bruynesteyn of Strauss Capital, Richard N. Sox, Jr. of Bass Sox Mercer, and others yet to be named. When will the 2011 CEO/CFO Forum be held? Our 17th Annual Forum will be held on February 4th in San Francisco at the Stanford Court Renaissance. Are sponsorship opportunities available? Yes! Click here to learn more.
