John Freeman
From the President
Happy 2016!
First I would like to start this article saying thank you to Michael Zak and the executive board for all their hard work and dedication this past year. It is hard to run your own business and an association. Let’s not forget Elyse DeBuck for she is the one who puts all of this together.
We are going to start the new year off right by having Mr. Ted Hernandez from the Texas DMV as our speaker. His topics will include Enforcement responsibilities, dealer investigations, possible violations, and how to prevent them. We all need to know this. This will be a meeting you do not want to miss.
I would like all of us to set some goals for the new year. First I would like for us to grow our association. By doing this will help us negotiate with city and county officials on ordinances and rule making that hurt our businesses. The executive board has started this putting together a membership package that pays for your membership if you use it. It is an excellent package that was put together. Second, I would like us to work with associate members and see how we can help them as they are helping us. By all of us working together will benefit all of us. Third, having meetings and workshops to help us grow and keep compliant. Please contact us about topics you would like to hear about.
Now I would like to thank you for allowing me to be your president for 2016 and may your year be wonderful and prosperous.
Thanks!
