OTAA Announces New President at Annual Meeting
The Ohio Tire & Automotive Association (OTAA) hosted its annual meeting and golf outing on Aug. 7 in Dublin, Ohio and announced its new president.
The meeting had 116 members in attendance and the William Floyd Distinguished Service Award was given to Tom White, president of Tire Source – a six-location dealership headquartered in Canton, Ohio – recognizing him for his “many years of service to the board, OTAA and our industry,” according to Alex Boehnke, executive director of OTAA.
The new president of OTAA is now Jon Boyd, tire business manager, for Boyd’s Tire and Service – a seven-location dealership headquartered in Westerville, Ohio.
Boyd takes over as president from Jeff Wallick, director of training at K&M Tire Inc., a wholesaler with more than 30 locations and is headquartered in Delphos, Ohio.
OTAA also donated $3,000 to the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) – a nonprofit foundation dedicated to providing emergency funding to automotive aftermarket members and their families. Chuck McCourt of McCourt Industries, an AACF board member, accepted the donation on behalf of the foundation.
