TIA CEO, SEMA WTC to headline California tire dealer luncheon
Tire Industry Association (TIA) CEO, Dick Gust, and SEMA Wheel & Tire Council Select Committee member Steve Swanson of The Carlstar Group will headline the event. Newly elected CTDA President Chris Barry of The Independent Tire Dealer Group (ITDG) will serve as emcee.
Chris Barry stated, “As I begin my term, I look forward to seeing old friends and new at the ninth edition of our luncheon. Serving as CTDA President will be an honor.”
“With two TIA CEOs in a row, Roy Littlefield in 2022 and now in 2023 Dick Gust here to speak, CTDA appreciates the years of partnership with both TIA and SEMA” said event host Billy Eordekian of 1-800EveryRim OEM Wheels.
