We have attended the 2008 National Automobile Dealers Association convention in San Franciso. Look for us at the 2009 NADA convention in New Orleans in the Driving Force booth. We have attended several educational events locally and nationally in recent months. Issues have included how to handle Kentucky tax changes, contractor tax planning, using key performance indicators and tax update seminars. We are constantly adding to our knowledge to serve you better.

We have attended many Kentucky Association of Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors events including the summer, 2008 meeting at Dale Hollow.

We will be speaking at the 2009 KAPHCC conference in Northern Kentucky and other events on auto dealer and construction topics.
