The Automotive Training Managers Council's (ATMC) fall meeting in Atlanta marked the organization’s 25th anniversary and a milestone as the leadership announced a new structure and governance for the group.

ATMC membership approved a change in the bylaws to allow the shift to governance by a Board of Directors and created the new staff position of ATMC president. The Board approved the selection of David Milne to fill the president’s position.

Milne will assume his ATMC responsibilities in addition to his duties with the ASE Test Development staff. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) provides management services for ATMC.

ATMC Officers include Chairman Corey Glassman, Fluke Corporation; Vice Chairman Stefan Baier (TTi), Treasurer John Saia (Toyota), and Secretary Tim Zilke (ASE).

In addition to the officers, the ATMC Board of Directors includes Bobby Bassett (Gates), Rod Boyes (Melior), Al Ebron, (NAFTC), Steve Lee (Lincoln Tech), Byron Morgan (Hunter Engineering), Darrell Rowe (Bridgestone Retail Operations) and Paul Seidel, (Delta College).

“ATMC has updated its bylaws and governance to better serve its members,” says Milne. “This new structure will allow for more strategic direction from the Board of Directors and a more efficient management structure to better execute the ATMC mission and improve the value of ATMC to its membership.”
