The Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) and the Overseas Automotive Council (OAC) announced an integration and leadership agreement between the two groups.
OAC will become a peer council of AASA. It will operate under the leadership of a joint board of directors that will include members of the OAC Board of Directors and AASA Board of Governors. Its daily operations will continue to be directed by Anthony Cardez, OAC executive director, who will report to Steve Handschuh, AASA president and COO.
Prior to this agreement, OAC had functioned as the international division of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association since 1994, along with MEMA's three market segment associations: AASA, the Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association and the Original Equipment Suppliers Association.
According to Bob McKenna, MEMA president and CEO, this agreement between OAC and AASA is in the best interests of all the groups. "This closer alignment between AASA and OAC is the next logical step in the growth of both groups and will result in expanded services and programs for all members," he said. "It will add even more to the member value proposition and greater return on investments for both groups' members."
