The Automotive Distribution Network’s recent fall membership meeting in Boston attracted record attendance, including several manufacturer partners and executives from warehouse distributors representing the Parts Plus, Parts Plus Mexico, IAPA and Auto Pride brands.

“The exceptional turnout for this event enabled the majority of the group’s membership to effectively meet with the Network’s valued manufacturer partners to discuss promotional opportunities and further enhance their relationship,” said Mike Lambert, president of the Network. “Network committee members also evaluated the group’s 2014 goals and results, and help chart our future direction through brainstorming sessions.”

During the gathering, the Network also reviewed the association’s latest marketing and product initiatives, while the NIS (Network Information Services) team conducted workshops detailing the latest IT enhancements. Jonathan Carey, the managing director at BB&T Capital Markets who leads the firm’s automotive aftermarket investment banking practice, was on hand to provide insight into the financial future of the industry.

Attendees also participated in a poker tournament that raised more than $10,000 for a memorial scholarship in the name of George Segal, chairman of Concord, N.H.-based Automotive Supply Associates, Inc. (ASA), who recently passed away at the age of 87.
