As the auto auction industry anticipates the NAAA Convention in Indianapolis and the ServNet owners prepare for their Fall Owners' Meeting, several of the group's members will transition to new leadership roles, both on the national front and within the group. Chad Bailey (Akron Auto Auction), current NAAA President, will move to NAAA's Chairman of the Board, while Eric Autenrieth (Carolina & Indiana Auto Auction) will serve as ServNet's Chairman of the Board following his two-year term as the group's president. Bruce Beam (DAA/OKC), meanwhile, will take the reigns as ServNet's President.

As he completes his term as NAAA President, turning over the gavel to Laura Taylor (XLerate's Charleston Auto Auction), Bailey looks over his time, highlighting the Association's accomplishments under his watch.

ServNet has announced the appointment of industry veterans John Brasher and Robert Sullivan to head ServNet's executive team.  ServNet's president, Eric Autenrieth, reports that they assume leadership of the auction group on January 1 of 2020.  Brasher has been named Executive Director, while Sullivan will serve as Administrative Director. "We are delighted to welcome two individuals of such caliber and standing in the auction industry to ServNet's executive team," said Autenrieth.  "Both John and Bob have years of experience in the industry and are champions of the independent auction.  Both former owners of ServNet auctions themselves, they bring unique and valuable perspectives to their new leadership positions."

ServNet auctions are known for holding the industry's biggest and most inventive promotions, and this summer's auction calendar is full of blockbuster events, ranging from patriotic tributes and anniversary commemorations to summer celebrations and high energy rock concerts, reports ServNet's President Eric Autenrieth.

"High-impact promotional sales are part of a long-held tradition at ServNet auctions across the country," says Autenrieth. "These events bring a level of excitement and participation to the auction that is unmatched in the remarketing world. A look at this summer's calendar shows that the industry's most innovative and exciting events are happening at ServNet auctions."
