Working in conjunction with the 12th Annual Hotrod & Restoration trade show in Indianapolis, HRIA-member companies are provided a platform to educate and train dealers on the specifics of their products and key selling points. Dealers are better at selling products they're more knowledgeable and comfortable with, resulting in higher sales and less returns.
This year’s Education Day boasted 40 seminars which were attended in record numbers. With more than 4,000 pre-registered for the event, it quickly sold out, creating a buzz within the industry. HRIA Education Day did not fail to deliver. The manufacturers represented a broad spectrum of industry experts and covered diverse and tangible subject matter. Manufacturers included GM, Meguiar’s, Flaming River Industries, Steele Rubber Products, Vintage Air Inc. and Classic Instruments. The all-day event included a hosted breakfast and attendees received a certificate of completion for each seminar they participated in.
As a SEMA council, HRIA is committed to the betterment of its members and promoting the industry as a whole. Events such as Education Day are made possible because passionate individuals volunteer their time and resources. An active and strong membership is critical in assuring that important initiatives such as education, youth awareness, and legislative issues are addressed and directed accordingly.
For more questions on Education Day or to get involved with HRIA, please contact Zane Clark at zanec@sema.org.

MRC Volunteer Opportunities
Have you ever wondered how to get more involved in the MRC?
What exactly do the council leaders do throughout their term? Very simply, the Select Committee is elected by the members of the council to serve a two-year term. They participate in monthly conference calls and meetings that are held at various trade events throughout the year. Each Select committee member volunteers for at least 20 hours throughout the year and some volunteer even more. Some share their experience and vision, others provide creative solutions to the challenges that member companies face and others get their hands dirty and get it done. Each Select Committee member is supported by their company in their MRC efforts and for that we say “thank you” to those companies!
The leaders of the MRC gathered at the 2009 PWA Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, for its annual long-range planning meeting. This meeting focused on bringing value to the MRC-member companies. The last 18 months have been extremely challenging for all of our companies, and the council is dedicated to utilizing SEMA’s resources to further benefit each MRC member.
Guiding the group’s effort was the council’s mission statement to provide market information, education and support to members concerning new and emerging trends. A handful of exciting objectives are being developed for the council for 2010. If you are passionate and have interest in being involved, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer for a Task Force with a limited investment of time, but provides a great way to network and share your ideas. Please reach out to the Task Force Chair if you want to participate or have comments.
Awards Task Force
Irv Cohen (SS Sales & Marketing) chairs this task force and can be reached at irvco@msn.com or you can contact the SEMA MRC Liaison, Staci Bostock at stacib@sema.org. The Awards Task Force was formed to review the criteria for the MRC Hall of Fame and STAR Award (Sales Team Annual Recognition). The MRC Hall of Fame Award was designed to honor outstanding persons in the segment of the automotive industry known as manufacturers’ representatives. It is the most prestigious award presented by the council to dedicated individuals who enhanced the stature of, or significantly contributed to the manufacturers’ rep profession or the council’s growth. The MRC STAR Award will be presented to the most outstanding manufacturer’s sales team voted upon by the general membership of MRC.
Elections & Scholarship Task Force
The council chair-elect chairs this task force. The Elections Task Force reviews and approves the council nominations submitted, conduct interviews with perspective candidates and creates the final slate of candidates. The Scholarship Task Force creates the criteria and selects the recipient for the MRC sponsored SEMA scholarship.
Membership Task Force
Bunyan “Les” Rudd (Bob Cook Sales) chairs this task force and can be reached at lesrudd@bobcooksales.com or you can contact the SEMA MRC Liaison, Staci Bostock at stacib@sema.org. The importance of knowing our members and what industry challenges each member is very important. The Membership Task Force was formed to enhance the value for the MRC member. The Membership Task Force is slated to research, identify and/or produce three new member cost-saving benefits, work to develop programs that enhance the professionalism of the rep industry, develop a plan to improve the value of becoming a member of the MRC and engage members at large to get involved with the MRC.
Rep Conference & LRP Task Force
Chris Fairless (Fairless Sales & Marketing) chairs this task force and can be reached at cfairless@FairlessSalesMarketing.com or you can contact the SEMA MRC Liaison, Staci Bostock at stacib@sema.org. The Rep Conference Task Force researches and selects industry specific topics and speakers that would appeal to all manufacturers, WDs and reps. The LRP Task Force works closely with the MRC chairman, Membership Task Force chairman and SEMA staff liaison to develop long-range planning format and subject matter.
There are so many other things the council leadership does throughout the year, including host the annual MRC Rep Conference and General Membership Awards Ceremony at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, present industry awards to our manufacturers' rep colleagues and elect council leadership. Feel free to visit the MRC Rep Center at SEMA Show for more information on the council. You are the expert at what your business needs and this council wants to deliver. Feel free to get in touch with us, or come to one of our MRC events. Our hope is that if you haven’t been a part of MRC yet, you will be in 2010 and beyond.

The 9th annual MRC Rep Conference moves to Las Vegas at the 2010

Getting Involved With PRO
PRO is dedicated to addressing the challenges facing the restyling segment of the automotive specialty-equipment industry and to developing effective strategies for dealing with industry-specific issues.
Take the First Step, Get Involved…
Ask yourself these two questions: 1) Am I getting the most out of my business? 2) What can I do to support my industry?
Let SEMA and PRO help. Through a community of knowledge and activism, PRO can help support your business and our industry through three primary vehicles:
- Voice in the Industry. As a member of PRO you will have an opportunity to raise industry concerns and challenges to a committee and organization that not only has the desire, but also the resources to promote short and long-term initiatives that can benefit us all.
- Professional Development. PRO provides to its members, free of charge, the "PRO Sales Training Manual" and the "PRO Business Development Guidebook." These tools offer invaluable insight and strategies that will have an immediate impact on your day-to-day business operations. PRO’s Installer Certification Program, ProPledge Assurance Program, and the Technical Skills & Training Conference (TSTC) are fundamental building blocks which help installers/restylers gain the valuable training and recognition needed to succeed in today’s market place.
- Networking. Creating an expansive support system is critical to the success of any business. The PRO networking philosophy is to bring together individual’s who share a common interest and passion. PRO’s premier networking function is Novemberfest and is held annually at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The buzz surrounding Novemberfest was huge in 2009, and this year’s event should see close to 300 people and will provide the backdrop for friendships to be renewed and business relationships to be fostered.
To get involved and join a worthy cause, visit www.sema.org/pro or contact Zane Clark at zanec@sema.org.
PRO Is on a Roll…
Following the wildly successful NovemberFest Reception at the 2009 SEMA
Show, PRO has come through again with the launch of the Technical
Skills & Training Conference (TSTC) that took place on April 30 on
the University of Northwestern Ohio campus in Lima, Ohio.
These events are the direct result of a dedicated and committed council
that continually pushes the envelope in order to better serve its
members.
SEMA would like to recognize the PRO TSTC Task Force and manufacturers/presenters for their effort and vision.
Task Force: David Stringer, B.J. Leanse, Karl Stearns, Eldon
Bracken, Bill North, Jerry Redding, Jerry Schnetzer, Jim Skelly, Ray
Ott, Joey Johnston, Jason Braun and Doug Perez.
Manufacturers: Audiovox, Donmar, Eagle Enterprises, Katzkin,
Restylers Choice, Superchips, Webasto, ProPledge, Curt Manufacturing,
Check Corporation and Artlux Inc.
Here’s what people are saying:
“TSTC far exceeded our expectations, and we are looking forward to more opportunities to help educate and train our industry.” — Lane Carter, Restylers Choice
“We would like to thank the SEMA PRO council for giving the
University the privilege of hosting their inaugural TSTC conference on
our campus. The university believes that to serve our industry, we must
be one with our industry and hosting conferences or training on our
site is part of being connected for our faculty and also for our
students who are forming their views and expectations of our industry
and who else to better those visions and expectations than SEMA and its
councils.” — Tom Grothous, UNOH Dean, College of Technolgies
“TSTC offered a great venue to provide hands-on training to a group of
aftermarket accessory technicians as well as an opportunity to
introduce our industry to automotive vocational college students who
might consider accessories as a career path. DONMAR looks forward to
the next event.” — Marc Levinson, DONMAR Sunroofs and Accessories
“I found the TSTC event to be both educational and inspiring. I operate
a “cut n’ sew” automotive trim/upholstery shop but am always looking
for related ways to diversify my business. I personally got the
opportunity to install my first sunroof—complete from start to
finish—while at the event. This is something that I probably never
would have just tried on my own. Now we are looking to add this service
within our business offerings.
As always, it’s also great to rub elbows
with some of the most influential individuals in the industry. Just
having the opportunity to chat with other successful business owners,
installers and manufacturers keeps me fueled to try new and innovative
things. These are just a few of the reasons why this is a must attend
event for all restylers in the future.”
— Adam D. Howard, No Joke Upholstery
PRO Chair Karl Stearns added, “I am extremely proud of the work that
was done by the task force and express my appreciation to Tom Grothous
for his enthusiasm and support, the manufacturers for their vision and
the restylers for their commitment.”

Have you ever wondered what exactly do the council leaders do throughout their term? Very simply, the Select Committee is elected by the members of the council to serve a two-year term.
Each Select
Committee member volunteers for at least 20 hours throughout the year
and some volunteer even more. Each Select Committee member is supported
by their company in their Street Performance Council (SPC) efforts, and
for that we say, “thank you!"
The leaders of the SPC gathered together earlier this year at SEMA
headquarters in Diamond Bar, California. This meeting focused on
bringing value to the SPC-member companies and utilizing SEMA’s
resources to further benefit each SPC member. Guiding the group’s
effort was the council’s mission statement “to provide market
information, education and support to members concerning new and
emerging trends.”
If you are passionate and have interest in being involved, there are
plenty of opportunities to volunteer for a task force with a limited
investment of time. Please reach out to the task force chair if you
want to participate or have comments.
Membership Task Force
Ed “Blake” Burgy from Mr. Gasket chairs this task force and can be reached at eburgy@mrgasket.com.
The importance of knowing our members and what industry challenges each
member has is very important. The SPC membership task force is
responsible for communicating directly with our members, keeping them
up to date on SPC happenings and making sure that we are meeting their
needs.
Communications Task Force
Baadal “Bottle” Deliwala from Titan Motorsports chairs this group and can be reached at bottle@titanmotorsports.com. Regular submissions to SEMA Member News and eNews
will contain relevant street performance market information written or
researched by the SPC council membership. If you want to contribute
your ideas, drop an e-mail to Bottle. Better yet, draft an article on a
topic pertinent to the mission and focus of the council and we’ll see
that it gets published with your byline.
Research Task Force
Albert Reda from Vibrant Performance chairs this group and can be reached at areda@vibrantpower.com.
Several key factors are changing significantly due to the economy:
consumer buying habits, distribution channels and vehicles. The council
has hosted several focus panels in the past with jobbers and consumers
answering questions about current trends. The data is compiled and
distributed to members, illustrating the differences between what is
perceived as current buying trends and what is actually happening.
RASR (Racer’s Against Street Racing) Task Force
Regis Finn at B&M Racing and Performance Parts chairs the groups and can be reached at rfinn@bnracing.com.
RASR is an SPC initiative that exists to provide leadership and support
to promote the anti-street racing message. We need plenty of industry
support and passion to reignite this message to our local communities.
Technology Task Force
Gigi Ho at Digital Performance chairs this group and can be reached at gigiho@digitalperformance.com.
The Business Technology Symposium has been successfully developed and
hosted by the SPC for the last three years as the Internet Symposium.
The 2010 SPC Business Technology Symposium will be held on July 23, in
Pasadena, California, as part of the 2010 SEMA Leadership Days with
some very exciting educational sessions. The group will also define and
develop relevant educational webinars and articles to help our members
take advantage of new opportunities.
There are many other things the council leadership does throughout the
year: host the annual SPC Mixer at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, present
industry awards to our street-performance colleagues and elect council
leadership. You are the expert at what your business needs, and this
council wants to deliver. Feel free to get in touch with us or come to
one of our SPC events. My hope is that if you haven’t been a part of
SPC yet, you will be in 2010.
Find the Business Possibilities Through the SPC
Participate in the automotive aftermarket at a whole new level by joining the SPC.
The purpose of SEMA councils is to help our member companies succeed and prosper.

Then we’ll help you understand and acquire the skills, tools and
technologies to lead the way. The SPC has the most diverse membership
