16th Annual Vehicle Finance Conference

This conference, co-sponsored by the AFSA Vehicle Finance Division and AFSA Education Foundation, is the first event of the year for the vehicle finance industry and held in conjunction with NADA's Convention & Exposition. The auto industry's premier conference  is developed and driven by members of the American Financial Services Association, the national trade association for the consumer credit industry. Vehicle Finance Division members will not only have the opportunity to exchange valuable information, but will be encouraged to help define and coordinate AFSA's strategy and special projects to benefit their companies and the industry. 

Graduate school teams from The University of Arizona and Wake Forest University were invited to present marketing strategy recommendations for new car financing for young buyers, delivered through auto dealers including differentiated products and processes. The students under my mentorship from the UofA, Tony Stovall, Laee Choi, Tory Ligon and Charles Lawry received a second place prize of $5,000 for their efforts on their presentation.
