Join ASCCA in Supporting Women in Auto Care at the 2018 AAPEX Conference

Are you an ASCCA member planning to attend this year's Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas? If so, you won't want to miss the special events being hosted by Women in Auto Care! A global community, Women in Auto Care will be celebrating the achievements and contributions made by women across the industry.

ASCCA believes strongly in the mission of Women in Auto Care and has recently established a new committee to identify ways that ASCCA can partner with them to help advance female auto care professionals and recognize the significant role women play in the industry.

If you're attending AAPEX, we encourage you to attend these Women in Auto Care-hosted events:
  • Women in Auto Care Awards and Press Conference: an event to honor three women making exceptional contributions to the automotive industry and the announcement of the Automotive Communications Award winners (4 - 5 pm, October 30 at the Venetian Hotel, Casanova Room 505-open to all AAPEX attendees)
  • Women in Auto Care Reception: an evening to honor the 2018 Women in Auto Care scholarship recipient and help raise funds for their scholarship fund (5 - 6 pm, October 30 at the Venetian Hotel, Casanova Room 506-open to all AAPEX attendees)
  • Women in Auto Care Networking Lunch: annual networking luncheon reserved for Women in Auto Care members (seats are limited; click here for details and registration information)

Featured Remarkable Results Podcast - Defend Our Marketplace - Keeping Up With Connected Cars

Our ASCCA Connected Cars Panel; Carolyn Coquillette of Luscious Garage, San Francisco, CA, Dave Kusa of Autotrend Diagnostic, San Francisco, CA, and Niko Sougias of Charlie's Foreign Car Service, Encinitas CA help us better understand the impact of the connected car.

The Panel discusses how the committee defends our ability to do business in the automotive aftermarket, current outlook on Connected trends, and Why is ASCCA focused on Connected Cars.

Learning and understanding this episode grants us the wisdom to either adapt or become obsolete. Continuous learning and being prepared for autonomous cars are one of the few things we need to do as we look to stay ahead of the curve.
