The membership re-elected L. Ward Huntley, president of South Lubes, Inc. in Orange Park, Fla., to a second three-year term on the board. South Lubes, Inc. operates 64 Jiffy Lube centers in Florida, and the Carolinas.

Chris Tolsdorf, owner of four fast lubes in the suburban Philadelphia area, was elected president of the association. Glenn Morris was elected vice president, and Steve Allison will continue as secretary/treasurer of the association.
“I’m extremely pleased to be working with such a talented group of lube operators in setting the policy and direction for the association,” said AOCA Executive Director Steve Christie. “The new officers are committed to fueling association growth through professional training, outstanding governmental affairs representation and other valuable services to lube operators.
