Dealership Minds Summit: The How & Why Behind Inaugural Event
As our team prepares for the 9th annual Dealership Minds Summit this August in Illinois, we take a moment to revisit its origins. Here is Mike Lessiter’s original blog, “An Investment in Your Leadership Capital,” on event #1 and the how and why it came to be, a model that has stood the test of time. And a nod to the 8 companies who volunteered to back a very different educational opportunity for dealers that didn’t include a single minute of podium time … Agri-Trend, AgTron, DIS, GBGI, Horsch-Anderson, IRON Solutions, Orthman Manufacturing and Versatile.
