TODAY'S CHALLENGE
Our industry is changing and so too are the needs and priorities of vehicle remarketing. What are those needs? How do we define and prioritize them? How do we communicate them? That's what the IARA Roundtable Series is all about.
In this series of industry meetings, we will work to develop consensus on the key issues that will help to improve performance in our industry. Through work group interchange, participants will define and prioritize key developmental requirements that will be presented to appropriate industry groups. Using the experience within the various facets of our business we will endeavor to compose commonly needed goals, objectives, and tasks that will provide direction to the many participants in our industry.
