Annual Convention
The annual convention provides the
opportunity for independent tire dealers and retreaders to exchange ideas
and hear guest speakers from every facet of the tire industry. The
convention is also a time for the business meeting of ATDA where policies
are adopted and the officers and directors are elected. Since the
convention is a family affair, lifelong friendships are begun and renewed.
Newsletter--The Spare Tire
The Spare Tire contains articles of interest
to the membership including activities of the Association, general business
tips, news that is important to the industry, and up-to-date information on

our Association.

Strength in Numbers
The Alabama Tire Dealers Association has
more than 150 members. Strength is needed every day as we face new
challenges in the ever changing tire industry. Working together makes each
of us better at what we do as professionals in our industry.
Legislative Watch
The most important challenge facing our
Association today is changes in our scrap tire management laws. The Alabama
Tire Dealers Association has 2 seats on the state Scrap Tire Commission,
which allows us to constantly monitor modifications.
