Providence, R.I. — Sentinel Limousine of East Providence, R.I., was honored at the 2014 annual Community Traffic Safety Awards Program luncheon operated by AAA of Southern New England (SNE). This successful program focuses on recognizing the efforts of local police department and community leaders who contribute to the increasing overall passenger and pedestrian safety on the roadways.
Sentinel Limousine is the first private business to be honored by the program, and it was recognized for its innovative and pioneering commitment to providing the safest chauffeured transportation available.
Sentinel Limousine requires the use of legally approved child passenger safety equipment in all vehicles. Through the use of clear instructions and a creative graphic, prospective passengers have access to accurate information about Rhode Island’s Child Passenger Safety Law requirements.

Durham, N.H. — Vendors In Alliance (VIA), the new vendors group comprised of companies deeply entrenched in providing solutions for the livery industry, held its first meeting on November 4th in Atlantic City, N.J., at the Chauffeur Driven Show. The meeting was a success, with well over a dozen attendees, including Jeff Brodsly of Chosen Payments, Arthur Messina of Create-A-Card, Amy Harris and Patty Ferris of Deem Ground, Pat Charla and Jennifer Wong of DriveProfit, Lisa Harding & Arnie Adamsen of LimoLive24, Chip Bowman and David Hirsch of Livery Coach Solutions, Derek Maxwell of Maxwell Unified, Dan Sutich of Perfect Chauffeur, Ryan Hilberth of Rental Limo, James and Jim Moseley of Trip Tracker, Laird Mooney of AMProd, Peter Heber of Advantage Funding, and Rick Szilagyi (Lexian Management). Topics included early-stage housekeeping issues including a 2015 yearlong commitment from all members, but also defined initiatives and developed the first year’s calendar. VIA members will meet monthly, often by conference call, with its next face-to-face meeting in Las Vegas in March.
The purpose of the organization was restated at the beginning of the meeting: to unite smaller vendors to create a larger voice, to share professional contacts/resources to enhance VIA businesses, to educate one another on each member’s products and services for a better understanding of the needs of our mutual clients, to bring in outside speakers/presenters on topics that will assist with the growth and operation of our individual companies, and in general to build industry presence. One of the decisions made during the meeting was to donate $1,200 to the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. Brodsly and Szilagyi presented the donation at a charity event later that day, in the names of VIA and its individual member organizations. This is a testament to VIA’s purpose in building industry presence.
Vendors in Alliance is a professional organization of senior-level executives, committed to cooperation, education, the exchange of ideas, resulting in the growth of each member as well as the industry.
