New York-InterCounty Chapter Meeting
Guest Speaker: Joe Phillipi, President and CEO, AutoTrends
Come celebrate the holidays with one of the best networking events of the year. Meet other fleet managers as well as affiliates from throughout the InterCounty Region. In addition to great food fun and networking we will be entertained by our guest speaker Joe Phillipi. Also we will be raffling off great prizes and raising money once again for Make-A-Wish.
Make-A Wish started in 1980 as a result of a 7 year old boy who had Leukemia and wanted to be a Police Officer. The local Police Department made the arrangements and the boy’s wish was fulfilled shortly before he passed away from the disease. Today the Make A Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. NAFA New York-InterCounty Chapter is excited to support this wonderful foundation with the funds raised from this raffle. A representative from Make-A-Wish is scheduled to be at the meeting. So come and be ready to enter the raffle and support Make A Wish.
