The board of directors of the Council of Fleet Specialists (CFS) has announced the selection of Chicago-based Wade&Partners as the association’s new management firm.

The change will be effective July 1, 2004.
The decision was made following presentation of a number of alternatives to the board just prior to the CFS Annual Business Conference in Las Vegas.
“We are excited to have the experience of Bill Wade and his firm working for us,” said CFS President Frank Szabo of Ohio Diesel Fleet Supply. “We were fortunate to have a number of excellent proposals to select from,” Szabo continued.
“The selection finalizes a process that started in January. We wanted to be sure that we heard from everyone with an interest in helping our organization reach the next level. I think we accomplished our goal,” Szabo said.
Wade&Partners is a marketing firm specializing in management services for parts aftermarkets worldwide. Affiliated groups include The Wade Agency, a full-service advertising agency, and Wade Industrial Scholastics, which is involved in applied learning technologies for entry level employees.
CFS is an association serving the independent heavy-duty distribution channel.
