GENERAL MOTORS’ JIM BUNNELL AND JOHN MONTFORD; CHRYSLER GROUP’S PETE GRADY!  “THE MANUFACTURERS’ IMAGING PROGRAMS” Pressed to invest…car dealers ask:  Is it worth it? 

Jim Bunnell, General Director, Network Support  of General Motors Corporation will be a featured panelist on Tuesday, April 19th General Business session and a member of our panel to discuss and answer questions from the attendees as they pertain to the “Manufacturers’ Imaging Programs.”

Peter Grady, Vice President of Network Development & Fleet, Chrysler Group LLC, joins the panel on Tuesday to offer Chryslers’ prospective as it relates to imaging programs.  His responsibilities include ensuring that the Chrysler Group’s restructured dealer network operates at the highest possible level to ensure optimal sales volumes for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge products.  He is also responsible for Managing Chrysler Group’s fleet sales organization.

 John Montford, Senior Advisor, Government Relations & Global Public Policy will join Tim Doran, President of OADA, at the TOWN HALL MEETING at Tuesday’s General Business Session. I believe it is fair to say that Mr. Montford and Mr. Doran worked together closely in 2010 on the passage of the amendments to Ohio’s Franchise Law during the 128th General Assembly.

Dale Pollak founder of vAuto, drawing from 13 years of experience as a dealer principal, and more than a decade as a successful high-technology executive, Dale will present to convention attendees a better way to appraise, manage and price pre-owned inventory while maximizing dealership profits from pre-owned vehicle operations. 

Patrick Henry, a professional musician, songwriter and motivational speaker will present a dynamic program with a strong message that will entertain and inspire convention attendees.  His topic, “Keeping your Team in Tune” teaches us how to learn to be a star in our business and how to set ourselves apart from the competition.
