Compliance Summit’s Processes and Controls Panel Takes Shape
CHICAGO — Organizers of Compliance Summit have announced that the Midwest event, which is scheduled for April 20–21, 2015, at the DoubleTree Chicago O’Hare, will include a panel discussion devoted to Easy-to-Implement Processes and Controls.
“This panel is a key part of our ongoing effort to equip dealers and managers with the tools they need to develop strategies for sustainable front-end compliance,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Auto Dealer Monthly and F&I and Showroom magazines. “Attendees should consider this the ‘nuts-and-bolts’ section of the agenda.”
The panel will be led by Brian Crisorio, vice president of marketing for United Development Systems (UDS). Panelists will include Doug Fusco of DealerSafeGuardSolutionS (DSGSS), American Financial and Automotive Systems Inc. (AFAS)’s Demetrios Lahiri, The Warranty Group’s Aaron E. Lunt Esq. and Brian Reed of Intersection Technologies/F&I Express.
Crisorio expects the group to convert the knowledge gained in the preceding portions of the Summit into actionable solutions.
“Knowing is always only half of the battle,” he said. “Doing is the other, tougher, half. This panel will lay down some simple solutions that will make the ‘doing’ much easier.”
