AAIA Annual Report 2008 - (Page 20) connecting to the right people Town Hall AAIA’s Town Hall breakfast is held annually during AAPEX in Las Vegas. More than 1,000 industry professionals attended this year’s event where a VIP panel of industry experts analyzed how rising energy costs are fueling changes in the aftermarket from the perspective of the motorist, service and repair, manufacturing and distribution. The AAIA Town Hall is sponsored by NASCAR Performance. Segment Conferences In addition to their committee meetings at Spring and Fall Leadership Days, many of AAIA’s 12 unique segments connected through meetings, seminars, annual conferences and conference calls. Through this individualized membership approach, each segment is assured autonomy while being an integral part of the larger association and enjoying its extensive benefits, resources, programs and influence. Leadership Days More than 400 volunteer leaders and industry guests gather twice annually during AAIA Fall and Spring Leadership Days, a forum for networking, strategic thinking and face-to-face problem solving. All standing and segment committees meet during the three-day event, for a total of 25 meetings, which always includes a meeting of AAIA’s Board of Directors.
