OPEI takes on management of OPEAA
19 May, 2010 LM Direct!ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) this past March took on the management of Outdoor Power Equipment Aftermarket Association (OPEAA), which represents members who produce quality, upgrade or replacement parts and accessories for outdoor power equipment.
While still maintaining separate identities, OPEI will manage membership related activity related to OPEAA annual meetings, board meetings, tradeshows and communications. In addition, OPEAA will be privy to policy and legislative updates as they become known to OPEI.
“We look forward to working more closely with OPEAA,” said Jean Hawes, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration at OPEI. “There’s a lot of synergy between our goals, and a closer working relationship will strengthen efforts to coordinate industry efforts and create a united front on important legislative and regulatory issues.”
“Collectively, OPEAA will have a stronger voice and have better representation,” said Sue Chaney, OPEAA President. “We look forward to receiving regulatory and legislative updates that allow us to not only be better informed, but also more proactive in getting our voices heard.”
