New Executive, President for Arkansas Dealer Group

(Tire Review) Still mourning the sudden loss of long-time executive director Nelson “Bulldog” Drummond, the Arkansas Independent Tire Dealers Association has named a new executive leader. Eddie Warrington was hired in August by the AITDA board of directors as its new executive director. Warrington was a member of AITDA for 28 years and served a term as president in 1991. With the resignation of president Eric Street, the AITDA also named first vice president Dennis Bartlett as president. Bartlett, president of Bartlett Tire Center in Heber Springs, Ark., will serve out the remainder of Street’s term, and then complete his own through 2010. With the change in leadership, the AITDA has a new address: #2 Robinwood, Searcy, AR 72143, USA.
