HOUSTON — The National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers (NABD) has released the full agenda for the first-ever BHPH Dealer Academy, scheduled for May 16–17, 2011, at the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Ken Shilson, NABD’s founder and president, said the Dealer Academy’s curriculum was designed to benefit BHPH veterans, as well as those who are entering the segment for the first time.
“For a moderate investment in education, attendees can learn proven strategies to make millions,” Shilson said.
Areas of study will include legal and regulatory compliance, underwriting and collection strategies, new technology and more. Guests such as Hudson Cook LLP’s Tom Hudson, Rick Potter of CAR Financial and Manheim’s Amanda Savage will be on hand to lend their expertise. The program also includes an opening reception, luncheon and exhibition space.
The BHPH Dealer Academy precedes NABD’s annual National Buy Here, Pay Here Conference, which is scheduled for May 18–20. For more information or to register, visit www.bhphinfo.com.
