SEMA Board Elections Decided

SEMA’s voting members have spoken and the 2019-’20 SEMA Board of Directors is set. Voting concluded May 28, paving the way for a few changes to the SEMA Board.

James Lawrence of Power Automedia was elected chairman-elect of the SEMA Board of Directors. Lawrence fills the position held for the past two years by Tim Martin of Aftermarket Advisors. Martin will begin his term as chairman in July.

Melanie White of Hellwig Products and Kathryn Reinhardt of Pilot Automotive also were voted into director positions, while Chris Douglas of COMP Performance Group and Les Rudd of Bob Cook Sales were re-elected to serve another term.

SEMA Board members are industry representatives who volunteer to lead and guide the association. They are elected by SEMA-member companies and represent three key membership categories: manufacturers, distributors/retailers, manufacturers’ rep and services.

-The 2019-2020 SEMA Board of Directors will be honored and recognized during the SEMA Installation & Gala in July. Two outgoing board members set to conclude their terms-SEMA Immediate Past Chair Doug Evans of Crower Cams & Equipment Co. Inc. and board member Kyle Fickler of Aeromotive Inc.-will also be honored for their service and contributions. A special tribute will be given during the gala to 2019 SEMA Hall of Fame Inductees Bob Chandler, Bruce Crower and Marla Moore.
