LAS VEGAS (Feb. 6, 2012) – Richard W. Witcher, the new chairman of the American
Truck Dealers (ATD), rallied the nation’s truck dealers to become even more
involved in the association after a rousing introduction by outgoing chairman
Kyle Treadway.
“I am humbled to accept Kyle’s
gavel,” said Witcher, CEO of Minuteman Trucks in Walpole, Mass.,
who said he plans to continue many of the strategic goals that Treadway had
begun.
Witcher encouraged members to
inform themselves about relevant state and local legislative initiatives, help
nurture the next generation of dealers and set future industry standards.
Witcher also is committed to increasing ATD membership from 80 percent to 90
percent, which is what NADA represents for automobile dealers.
Witcher’s remarks showed that he
hopes to continue ATD’s commitment to be pro-active rather than reactive. And
Witcher asked all ATD dealers, especially those who have been nominated for
Truck Dealer of the Year awards, to help him set the pace for excellence.
The American Truck Dealers represents about 2,000 medium- and heavy-duty truck dealers. ATD members share in NADA’s programs, services and benefits. ATD hosts an annual convention and expo for dealers and dealership managers. For more information, visit www.atd.org.
