I caught some great pics from the #ANRetailForum and wanted to share with everyone. Please enjoy and feel free to share.
It was such a pleasure to introduce my trusted friends and colleagues in the industry to each other… even if I introduced a few of you a couple of times! Oops...well it was a busy busy couple of days and we can't take any chances.
Congratulations again to all!
Here's one including Ron Frey of #CDKGlobal handing an award to my friend Jimmy Allen to start off.

While the speakers and presentations have been very valuable, as I took a look at the agenda, one could not help but notice the near absence of women.
It's 2018, nearly 2019...and we can go further, faster by bringing in more perspectives. I am confident this was not intentional by our fine friends at #ANRetailForum, but simply conditioning and relational.
Merit matters, and I see several women right here that could contribute quite easily and with impact.
You know I like a good goal with purpose.
I just set another one about 5 minutes ago.

The inimitable Jason Stein launches the 17th #ANRetailForum in Chicago.
I've already had so many opportunities to connect trusted colleagues, make new connections all with a hearty splash of industry inside news.
So excited to see many dear friends from #Autonation and other groups who are receiving recognition today.
Ron Frey and @Chip Perry are up next...time to listen and learn.

We are looking forward to joining the celebration as we honor achievement together at the Automotive News Retail Forum in Chicago.
I am personally thrilled that both of my 'parent' companies,@DHG Dealerships and NCM Associates will be attending.
I cannot wait to introduce them to some of my amazing colleagues in the industry, and I am endlessly thrilled to meet all of their friends and strategic partners as well.
Yes, I will be busy, but little makes me happier than seeing all of you and connecting you to some of the most tremendous minds and kindest and generous people in our business.
If you are heading there alone, look me/us up. You will be surrounded with new friends and colleagues in no time at all.
Buddy Dearman, Paul Anton Faletti Jr. (Paton), Trevor Robinson, John Davis, CPA, Anthony (Tony) Taylor...and so many more, see you all soon.

Dealers... How would you choose to position yourself against the competition when facing applicants who are considering a job in automotive retail? Is your culture in place and are you ready to stand out in an environment like this? What things do you need to work on... and do you know what triggers are important to potential candidates for roles from service to sales to the office to senior level management positions?
What are you already doing to be different in this rapidly changing Marketplace? If your culture is in place and aligns with today's workforce... kudos to you. If it needs some work, let's talk.
The future, your future... Is now.

What Is Possible...
What would you think about a place where there could be an entire pool of people that considered looking at jobs inside Automotive Retail.
And conversely they could learn about the opportunities at multiple dealerships...Learning about the benefits and culture of an organization and opportunities that lie within at that moment and in the future for them.
Your thoughts...is it time?

You dreamed of it happening, you hoped it would happen... But it's actually my current nightmare. My email is down on both my phone and my laptop. Trying to reach me... Call or text me or private message me here :-)
There might be more than one way to skin a cat, but apparently there's not more than one way to get your work email! Somebody help. Trust me... You do not want this to happen.
