HDA Truck Pride is encouraging the commercial vehicle industry to “Focus Forward” at its upcoming annual shareholders meeting.
Scheduled for next week, April 10-14, at the Marriott World Center in Orlando, Fla., HDA Truck Pride says more than 900 distributors and suppliers will gather to celebrate a strong 2018 and review growth strategies for 2019.
“With our industry facing change from every angle, our theme of ‘Focus Forward’ brings everything to a central point. We want to encourage adaptability, growth, and the entrepreneurial spirit that has guided all of our distributors and suppliers to the success they’ve achieved,” says Don Reimondo, president and CEO, HDA Truck Pride.
The group says presentations on financials, business intelligence, program management, a reboot of HDATP University, service opportunities and the 2019 Truck Service Expert of the Year presentation will fill the four-day meeting. The keynote address will be provided by Doug Lipp, a former trainer for Walt Disney World, who will concentrate on the importance of forward thinking and adapting to change.
Additionally, 175 suppliers will participate in a combination of three booth shows, highlighting new product announcements and training opportunities; and for the first time ever, taking part in one-on-one meetings.
“Together, we’re stronger and our partnerships are more important today than ever before,” says Reimondo.
