It’s Time to Talk, Face to Face.The GCLA F&I Town Hall is on the Books!

I mentioned last week that the GCLA has been working on a virtual Town Hall for its members. Well, I’m happy to report that we have secured the dates and are moving full steam ahead with planning the program.

The GCLA Town Hall is an association first and there is already much buzz! This event will be held on Tuesday, November 10th from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. The program is broken into two parts – starting with an expert panel from the credit and finance world followed by another expert panel from the insurance industry.

The GCLA Town Hall will be moderated by Selim Aslam, CEO of MIB Worldwide Chauffeured Services and Harry Dhillon, CEO of Ecko Worldwide Transportation Group.

Attending this FREE event requires you to (a) be a current GCLA member. If you’re not, go to www.gcla.org and sign up (our membership’s affordable at only $6.25 a month) and (b) register for the event. We will have the registration forms available next week after we secure all of the speakers and an event sponsor.

What You Can Expect from the GCLA Town Hall

We expect more than 100 attendees so all mics will be muted. The moderators will lead a debriefing on what panelists will be asked. Then the Town Hall, made up of questions from our attendees, begins.

You must submit your questions to us in advance. Once you’ve registered to attend, you will receive an email from us soliciting up to 3 questions you want answered by either panel or by both. You are required to submit them by the deadline on the email. The moderators will read the questions on a first-come, first-served basis until our time runs out.

We will record the session and make it available to GCLA members who cannot attend the virtual Town Hall.

Topic Descriptions

The F&I Town Hall will try to clear up the confusion on equipment deferments, address all options for managing fleet overhead and let operators know what are our realities moving into 2021.

On the insurance front, we will unpack confusion surrounding the costs to ramp up portions of fleets. We will address workers comp matters and discuss what is left on the table to negotiate, including extensions if any.

We believe this session will be a positive experience for our members and will do our best to help put your fears to rest by clarifying the uncertainties that we all are facing.

Stay Strong,
Sara Eastwood Richardson
