Local AAA executive appointed to national AAA board
 

Akron, OH -- Brian Thomas, president and CEO of the AAA Akron Auto Club, has been appointed to the national AAA board of directors.

AAA Akron is an independent, locally-controlled affiliate of the national AAA association, and that federation’s policies and practices are governed by the national board.

The AAA association is composed of affiliate organizations of different sizes and geographic scopes. The Akron affiliate operates exclusively in Summit County, serving approximately 102,000 members. By contrast, the four largest affiliates operate in multi-state territories and include more than ninety percent of AAA members in the United States. Thomas was chosen for the board seat that is reserved for a representative of one of the country’s
smaller, independent AAA clubs. This is the first time in AAA Akron’s 105-year history that a local representative was chosen to serve on AAA’s national board of directors.

According to AAA Akron board chairman, Richard C. Fedorovich, “AAA Akron has long benefitted from the leadership and foresight of Brian Thomas as we have addressed both our annual operating plan and our strategic direction. We are very pleased that Brian will have the opportunity to bring that same skill set to the AAA national board, and are very confident that he will provide a strong positive contribution.
 

“AAA Akron is particularly pleased that Brian Thomas will be in the strategic position to be the
voice of smaller AAA clubs as we move into a future where change is about us.”
