  4. Mission Statement Toadvance the automotive aftermarket supplier industry through collaborative marketing and communication solutions. Purpose Forum for aftermarket supplier marketing executives to collaborate in helping improve the state and image of the North American manufacturer base. The Council will serve a major role in helping AASA communicate to key audiences and develop communication strategies and action items.

  5. Anti-Trust Guidelines It is the unqualified policy of the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association to conduct its operations in strict compliance with the antitrust laws of the United States. AASA's antitrust policy prohibits any discussions which constitute or imply an agreement or understanding concerning: 1) prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale; 2) profits or profit margins or cost data; 3) market shares, sales territories or markets; 4) allocation of customers or territories; 5) selection, rejection or termination of customers or suppliers; 6) restricting the territory or markets in which a company may resell products; 7) restricting the customers to whom a company may sell; or 8) any matter which is inconsistent with the proposition that each manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor must exercise its independent business judgment in pricing its services or products, dealing with its customers and suppliers and choosing markets in which it will compete.

  6. Council Business • 2010 Dues Structure: • Last MEC meeting, membership voted to maintain current dues structure to fund special projects going forward. • Because of the way dues are invoiced and being a non-profit, we can not carry forward funds to the next year. • Would everyone be OK with billing MEC a single invoice but broken down between dues and projects?
