The Alliance is proud to announce that its Executive Director, Judell Anderson, has been selected as a member of the inaugural class of the 2020 Aftermarket News (AMN) Women at the Wheel. Judell was nominated by Dave Bock (sales manager/independent stores, Automotive Parts Headquarters/Auto Value) in recognition of her dedication and contributions to the automotive aftermarket. Bock stated, “I’ve been involved with AASP-MN (now Alliance) since the late ‘90s, when we rolled out the Lights on for Safety program. From day one of working with Judell, I could tell she was totally invested in helping the automotive industry and the Alliance membership. This recognition is well-deserved and overdue.” Judell said, “It’s always nice to be recognized, and especially by a valued industry member and colleague.

After 24-plus years, I still love my job, and it’s humbling and gratifying to know that my efforts are appreciated by those I serve. Judell and her classmates were honored in the May issue of Aftermarket News magazine. Congratulations, Judell! AASP-MN Weekly Updates At AASP-MN, one of our top priorities is making sure our members receive the most relevant, up-to-date news and information. To that end, the Alliance uses a mass email program, which we believe is the most efficient way to provide our members with this timely, valuable information. Since mid-March, we have been emailing COVID-19 updates at least weekly, including information about funding and other resources available to members. If you have not been receiving this information, check your “spam” and “junk” folders in your email program. Feel free to call the AASP-MN office and we’ll try to help you resolve any technical issues that may be preventing you from receiving this valuable information!
