The Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA) member organizations who are Town Hall contributing sponsors are:

CARQUEST

Federated Auto Parts

National Pronto Association

“Janet will deliver a pragmatic, informative, entertaining, eye-opening view and encouraging predictions about how the independent auto care industry will be communicating and doing business in the very near future,” said Schmatz.
