ORLAND PARK, IL — The Council of Fleet Specialists (CFS) at its 2005 Executive Conference announced it will support the newly created Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW). As a sponsor of the first-ever event, CFS will hold meetings and programs at HDAW. The event will be held Jan. 23-27, 2006 at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The announcement was made by Gene Damron, general manager of Page Brake Co. and president of CFS.
“CFS will become an integral part of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week by pledging one of our two annual meetings and becoming a HDAW sponsor,” said Damron. “The concept of HDAW has the potential to reduce costs and provide significant value for all participants, particularly when CFS’s participation influences the end product, further ensuring that the independent distributor’s interests are represented,” he noted.
The first HDAW will include seminars, a trade show, award presentations, one-on-one meetings, a reception and other networking opportunities for companies in the independent heavy-duty aftermarket. CFS’s decision underscores the rationale for heavy-duty aftermarket groups to schedule their programs in conjunction with HDAW, thereby offering more value and choices to their members than would be otherwise possible.
Event organizers are Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association and Heavy Duty Distribution Association.
