“We’re really happy how things went. This was the first educational summit we’ve had in a few years—and it was way overdue,” says Conly. “We’re going to aim for another one in June, as well. Things are definitely ramping up.”
Guest speaker Lucci was on hand to talk about sales, specifically profits as opposed to low costs. Furthermore, Uziel talked about his operation and as well as an overview of what’s happening industry-wise in California.
Conly also announced that the ALA is considering rebranding the association to be more inclusive of motorcoaches and other ground transportation. Plans are in place for the board to approve a new name in December.
