- The team that launched autocarevip.com in 2017, which brings the most up-to-date vehicle data to standards users;
- The association’s first e-learning platform launched in 2021, which educates users on how to efficiently utilize ACES and PIES in their organization for more sales and reduced returns; and
- The team overseeing the technical development and deployment of the TrendLens and Demand Index interactive data platform, which were accelerated to meet member needs in response to the pandemic in 2020.
