Bill Long, president of the Automotive Aftermarket Supplier's Association (ASA) and Bill Moss, owner of Euro Service Automotive in Warranton, Va., were elected to the board of directors of the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF). Additionally, Steve Douglas, environmental affairs director for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, was elected to a board officer position of treasurer/secretary.
Long steps in to NASTF as the AASA/MEMA representative as Steve Handschuh, a long-time NASTF board member, was promoted at Motor and Equipment Manufacturer's Association and unable to continue his NASTF responsibilities. Handschuh had served as NASTF treasurer/secretary which generated the vacancy filled now by Steve Douglas, an existing member of the NASTF board.
Moss was nominated by the board of the Automotive Service Association (ASA) to represent ASA on the NASTF board of directors following the departure of Ron Pyle. Moss is the director of the mechanical division for ASA in addition to his primary role as owner of a four-bay European vehicle specialty shop in a suburb of Washington, D.C.
"NASTF is blessed to have the high level of automotive service wisdom and experience available to us as we have in Bill Long and Bill Moss," remarked Charlie Gorman, NASTF chairman of the board of directors. "New members in the NASTF leadership will introduce innovation in NASTF solutions and will energize us veterans of the Board to continue giving our best."
NASTF was established in 2000 to identify, communicate and resolve gaps in the availability and accessibility of automotive service information, service training, diagnostic tools and equipment for the benefit of automotive service professionals and their customers. NASTF was incorporated in 2006 as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization. Additional details can be found at www.nastf.org.
