LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Compliance Summit have announced that a panel dedicated to “Your Responsibilities” will include an award-winning F&I director, two compliance experts and a member of the Auto Dealer Today editorial team. The event will be held Aug. 29–30, 2016, at Paris Las Vegas as part of the annual Industry Summit.
Justin Gasman, finance director at McCaddon Cadillac Buick GMC in Boulder, Colo., and F&I and Showroom’s reigning F&Idol winner, will be joined on the panel by Michael Tuno, founder and president of ARMD Resource Group, and Max Zanan, president of Total Dealer Compliance. Tariq Kamal, managing editor of Auto Dealer Today and contributor to several additional industry publications, will serve as moderator.
“This is exciting,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “Tariq and his team bring four distinct perspectives to a challenging subject. I can’t wait to hear what they have to say.”
The panel, “Leadership, Teamwork and Accountability,” will begin at 2:35 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 29. The group is tasked with laying out the important first steps attendees must take to fall in line with government standards and protect F&I profitability.
“This diverse group is the ideal combination for the topic, and they are going to make my job easy,” Kamal said. “We are going to equip every attendee with the information they need to start forming a plan for compliance and sustainable productivity.”
Compliance Summit attendees are also invited to attend any Industry Summit session and sit for the Certified Automotive Compliance Specialist exam, both for no additional charge.
