PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE

By Thomas Greco, AASP-MN News Publisher

THANK YOU!

As the old year fades and the new year arrives, I just wanted to take the time to thank all who have supported AASP-MN News, readers and advertisers alike. For over two decades, Thomas Greco Publishing (TGP) and the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Minnesota (AASP-MN / “The Alliance”) have worked together to bring you the latest news, events and commentary covering the automotive repair industry throughout the Great Lakes state.

A little over a year ago, we welcomed new AASP-MN Executive Director Linden Wicklund, and it has been our pleasure to share in her vision of where AASP-MN News will be going this year and in the future. I also want to thank former Executive Director Judell Anderson for all of her years of service and support to not only AASPMN News, but to TGP in particular. Last but certainly not least, Office Manager Jodi Pillsbury has been instrumental in helping us fine-tune each issue prior to production as our magazine liaison.

Thank you to AASP-MN President Jesse Jacobson and all of the Board members who volunteer their time to the Alliance, making sure members are up to date and educated on all things affecting the industry. Whether it’s a legislative issue, a benefits issue or just an answer to an everyday question, the Board is there for all to access.

Publishing AASP-MN News quite literally would not be possible without our advertisers. I want to personally thank all of them, both longtime and new alike. Their dedication to give back to their industry through the pages of our publication is a big reason that AASP-MN News has succeeded where many others have failed. There’s an old saying: “We support those who support us.” That couldn’t be more true in this instance. Everyone who gets our publication should make sure when they need parts, equipment, tools or service, that the first place they look is in AASP-MN News.

Finally, without you, our readers, AASP-MN News would be nothing. Thank you for your engagement in our magazine whether through your direct feedback, or virtual and physical sharing of content with your colleagues and staff. We couldn’t do what we do without you and look forward to continuing to serve you.

Wishing you all a safe and healthy new year!
