August 12, 2008 – USA strikes out on their own – again!                              

The United Servicers Association (USA) announced they are going to leave the North American Retail Dealers Association ( NARDA) to  re-establish themselves as an independent association. The leadership of USA believes that the need to provide educational and technical training to the service industry will be best served by the organization focusing solely on service related matters.  The appliance service industry has become increasingly aware of the need to operate as professional businesses. USA has made it their goal and purpose to provide the tools necessary for service operations to gain new perspectives and insight into how to run profitable service operations, delivered through programs such as the Regional Service Meeting (RSM) and the Service and Retail Convention (SRC).  These types of venues will continue with additional locations and sponsors.  Additional initiatives will be announced in the coming weeks.

The newly formed Board of Directors of USA has hired the MacDonald Group to run the day to day operations of the organization. Paul MacDonald will step down as president and will be the Executive Director. Dean Landers will become acting President, Tanner Andrews Vice President, Dale Luther Treasurer, Rod Williscroft Secretary.

USA is very thankful to NARDA and their leadership group for their partnership and looks forward to working with NARDA in future endeavors.
