As the National Auto Auction Association convention prepared to conclude last week, the group welcomed several industry veterans into its Hall of Fame, including Dan Kennedy, of General Motors and Tim West, of Black Book. Alexis Jacobs, of Columbus Fair Auto Auction received the Pioneer award; and the Exhibitor of the Year award went to Ralph Robinson, of Auto Use. GM remarketing manager Dan Kennedy was inducted into the NAAA Hall of Fame. Membership in the Hall of Fame, established in 1968, recognizes individuals whose long-term service to the auto auction industry and NAAA has contributed improvements to remarketing as a whole, has worked with the trade organization to benefit its members and has consistently followed the high standards of the association’s Code of Ethics, according to officials. Kennedy has spent the past quarter century of his 34-year career with GM in its remarketing organization, during which GM has sold 14 million vehicles at auction. That experience has provided him with a thorough understanding of the industry’s needs, NAAA revealed.
