SEMA RETOOLS ANNUAL TRUCK AND RESTYLING TRADE EVENT

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

The news from Sema this week concerning the re-tooling of the Spring expo was long awaited.

As I read the news from Sema I was reminded once again of the atmosphere from the past of the brazen and progressive thinking that helped launch TCIA in the 80’s. By again recognizing the necessity for a dedicated and focused approach to education and innovation we are once again on the path to success. I whole heartedly applaud and support the LTAA and PRO councils for having introduced this new conference, (TSTC).

With the adaptations that are affecting our industry now is the perfect time to offer a different prospective to the members of the accessory and restyling communities. By sponsoring and endorsing this bright approach our dealers and manufacturers can build upon needed innovation and change. And, by taking the conference back to Florida, a venue that has long proven popular, I feel that they have struck a common thread to our former successes in taking advantage of a venue that has proven extremely triumphant and inspiring.

Here’s wishing everyone in the industry the very best for the future.
