The University of the Aftermarket Foundation welcomes Dorman Products, Inc., as a lifetime trustee. The company recently contributed $100,000 to the foundation in order to help secure the future of the aftermarket through education.

"Our board member Jack Creamer made a very compelling case for supporting the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. When we reviewed the list of trustees, we knew that these well-respected leaders would spend wisely, investing in the education of the next generation of leaders so our industry continues to grow and remain strong well into the future."

Jeff Darby, senior vice president of sales for Dorman, will serve as the company's representative on the University of the Aftermarket Foundation board of trustees.
