LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual P&A Leadership Summit have announced that Bill Fox, 2015 chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), will deliver the evening keynote address at this year’s Industry Summit, which will be held Sept. 8–10, 2015, at Paris Las Vegas. Attendees who register for the P&A Leadership Summit are invited to attend the session.
“Bill Fox is a tireless advocate for his fellow dealers, among whom he is held in high regard as a voice of reason and leadership through good times and bad,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “We are honored to welcome him to Industry Summit.”
Fox is a partner in Fox Dealerships Inc., a group that represents nine brands in the Upstate New York cities of Auburn and Phoenix, as well as a licensed attorney. His NADA tenure began in 2006, when he joined the organization’s board of directors, and has continued through the Great Recession and innumerable regulatory and legislative challenges to the franchised dealership model.
“I’m honored to deliver keynote remarks at the Industry Summit, which brings together new-car dealers and their managers and others in the auto financing community to hear from industry experts on a variety of financing and retailing topics,” Fox said. “Our industry is constantly overcoming challenges while seeing new ones arise. Forums like this allow us to continue an open dialogue with our industry partners to discuss NADA’s top issues, which include protecting consumer access to credit, promoting the value of the dealer franchise network and refocusing our efforts as a trade association to better serve our dealer members.”
More information about Industry Summit and P&A Leadership Summit is available at the events’ websites. Attendees who register by Aug. 7 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount.
