John Treece, president and CEO of DMA Sales LLC (DMA), a parts manufacturer and supplier to the automotive aftermarket industry, has been appointed chairman of the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) for the Import Vehicle Community (IVC), formerly the Auto International Association (AIA).

The IVC is a community of the Auto Care Association that is focused on serving the needs of businesses engaged in import nameplate products and services.

Since 2014, Treece has been a dedicated member of the ELC, most recently serving as the council’s vice chairman. He has already started to assume the tasks and responsibilities entrusted to him by outgoing Chairman, Jens Schueler.

In his new role, Treece looks forward to engaging with the various members of the IVC, as well as provide some guidance to the Auto Care Association on a whole host of important issues and topics.

“It’s an important time for the auto care industry as a whole but especially for the import segment,” said Treece. “I look forward to serving as chairman of the Import Vehicle Community [ELC] and continuing this important work.”
