News and updates and from SEMA's councils and committees. 

Prior to the new year, the SEMA Board of Directors approved a motion to decrease the size of the Board. The bylaw revision initiative reflects their consensus that a smaller Board would improve the quality of discussion and reduce cost. 



SEMA hosts 10 distinct councils and committees that represent focused niches within the specialty-equipment industry. These groups are comprised of elected volunteers (Select Committee) who guide and direct council activities while representing the membership at large. Although each council acts independently and represents a different segment, they are all focused on the betterment of the industry as a whole.

Nominations for the 2012 SEMA Board of Directors are due Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Please take a moment to tell us about whom you would recommend as a potential nominee for a Board member position.

The benefits of SEMA membership are plenty. Business Resources and Solutions, Market Research, Educational and Training Programs, World-Class Trade Shows, Industry Communications, OEM Relations, GovernmentAffairs, and International Relations to name just a few.
