AGSC Holds Networking Event in Massachusetts
The Auto Glass Safety Council™ (AGSC) held a networking event in South Attleboro, Mass., last spring. The event was held at AAA South Attleboro in April and was open to current and prospective members.
Peter Brown of Tiny & Sons Glass in Pembroke, Mass., who serves on the AGSC board of directors and chairs the marketing committee, and Jeff Martineau, an auto glass industry sales representative with Clarity Sales Associates and member of the marketing committee, provided an AGSC update. A question-and-answer session followed.
“The event was well received,” says Brown. “Beranek and I spoke about the advantages of being a part of the AGSC.”
He adds, “Jeff was instrumental in putting this together.” Additionally, Brown expects similar events to be held in 2019.
