LEESBURG, VA — The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) has announced the officers for its board of directors for 2008.
Joe Torchiana, a Pennsylvania shop owner, assumes the chairman position, with Rick Ciesla of Chrysler as vice-chair, John Pfennig of Navistar as treasurer and Barry Bronson of Valvoline as secretary. The 2007 chairman, Colorado shop owner Stan Elmore, will be past chair. Each ASE officer will serve a one-year term in a position.
“One of the key strengths of ASE has always been its volunteer board," said Ron Weiner, ASE president. "The diversity of representation of the various business segments within the automotive industry is well reflected in our slate of officers for 2008.”
“This past year has been significant due to the transition in leadership at ASE,” said Torchiana. “Ron Weiner has served ASE well during his tenure and both the board of directors and board of governors wish him all the best in retirement. We also look forward to working with ASE’s incoming CEO Tim Zilke and his staff in 2008 and beyond.” (Courtesy of Tire Review)
