DALLAS — Organizers of Compliance Summit are pleased to announce that Robert Harkins, vice president of training for American Guardian Warranty Services Inc. (AGWS), will once again act as the event’s honorable master of ceremonies. The event will take place on Sept. 11, 2017, making its way to Dallas for the first time.
“Time and time again, Bob has proven to be an invaluable part of the annual Summit events,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “We are honored he will once again be returning to the Compliance Summit stage, bringing with him a passion and energy that is sure to keep us all on our feet from start to finish.”
Compliance Summit was designed as a series of regional events, with the overall goal being to provide dealers with a source of current knowledge and trends on staying compliant in today’s regulatory environment.
“I have watched this event grow year after year,” said Harkins. “And if what they say about Texas holds true, this will be the biggest to date.”
