The Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) announced that current ARA president, Chad Counselman, stepped down from his leadership position on the ARA executive committee to join All Auto Recalls in Australia.
Counselman will remain on the board of directors and current first vice president, Scott Robertson, will step in to serve the remainder of Counselman’s term. Robertson will begin his own presidential term as scheduled in November 2020 during the 77th Annual ARA Convention & Exposition.
Counselman shared with the board of directors and entire ARA membership that he has accepted a business opportunity in Australia and will be relocating his family to Melbourne in the coming weeks.
“I feel strongly that the ARA membership deserves a leader that can devote the necessary time and resources to guiding the Association. While my family and I are excited about this new opportunity in Australia, due to time zone differences and other commitments, it would make it very difficult for me to serve the members to the best of my ability as president. As such, I am stepping down and know that incoming president, Scott Robertson, will do an excellent job representing the membership. I look forward to continuing to serve the industry as a Board member and will continue to be actively involved in ARA,” Counselman stated.
