The CATA is pleased to welcome Joe Hamblock as a new member of its Board of Directors.

Hamblock brings more than 40 years of automotive industry experience, having started in the car business in 1983 and advancing through a variety of leadership roles, including general manager, partner, chief operating officer and managing partner. He currently serves as dealer principal of dealerships representing Ford, GMC and Chevrolet. In addition to his dealership responsibilities, Hamblock serves on the board of FDAF and as vice president of his 20 Group.

Joe joins the CATA Board following the recent election of Tom Conlin, Jeff Hopkins and Chris Weck as directors and the re-election of Steve Phillipos to a final three-year term. Jerry Haggerty recently stepped down from the CATA Board, and longtime director John Crane will now serve as vice chairman of the CATA Executive Board. Phillipos continues as chairman, with Emir Abinion serving as treasurer/secretary.
