MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, part of MEMA, The Vehicle Suppliers Association, announces the formation of the Aftermarket Suppliers CEO Council. Exclusively for top aftermarket leaders, the council brings together executives from the automotive, commercial vehicle and remanufacturing sectors.

MEMA networking groups are consistently ranked as one of the greatest benefits of MEMA membership, according to the organization. These councils and forums provide regular opportunities to discuss issues of common concern with other executives in similar roles. The Aftermarket CEO Council serves as a space for in-depth conversations on shared industry interests, providing a unique opportunity for leaders to gain valuable insights from their peers. Additionally, meetings will include outside speakers and engaging experiential events, aiming to further enrich meeting agendas beyond traditional discussions.

The first Aftermarket CEO Council meeting will be April 11, 2024, at The Henry Hotel in Dearborn, Mich. The meeting will kick off with a reception at the Automotive Hall of Fame the evening before on April 10, immediately following the 2024 Vision Conference. The inaugural year includes two in-person meetings, virtual roundtable discussions and an executive luncheon at AAPEX.

“We are thrilled to launch the Council this year as an exclusive and dynamic platform for CEOs in the aftermarket,” said John Chalifoux, chief operating officer at MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and council lead. “The CEO council provides access to a trusted set of advisors and creates a community for aftermarket leaders.”
