Demand for tickets to the all-industry Channel Panel points to a sell-out for this year’s AAIA Town Hall breakfast program on Wednesday, Nov. 4 during AAPEX. The AAIA Town Hall program, hosted by AAIA and sponsored by NASCAR Performance, has returned to the exclusive aftermarket four-person panel format.

Kathleen Schmatz, AAIA president and CEO, will once again moderate the Town Hall panel, which will include:
• Larry Sills, president, Standard Motor Products;
• Bill Rhodes, president/CEO, AutoZone;
• Rusty Bishop, CEO, Federated Auto Parts; and
• Jim Dykstra, owner, Dykstra Auto Service.

"We listened to our members and past Town Hall attendees who urged AAIA to host a panel of aftermarket industry executives who would deliver informed and candid insight and perspective on what was learned from the historical challenges in 2009 and what lies ahead in 2010," Schmatz said.

Tickets for the 2009 AAIA Town Hall are still available. Individual tickets are $90 and a table of 10 is $750.
