RESTON, Va.-Paul Hyatt, president and CEO of Superior Tire Corp. in Scarborough, Ontario, has been elected secretary of the Tire Association of North America.
Mr. Hyatt, who will assume such duties Oct. 31, is the first Canadian elected to the TANA post, considered the starting point in a series of offices leading ultimately to the presidency of that 80-year-old association.
Barring unforeseen interruptions, his term as TANA president will take place in 2004.
Perhaps fittingly, the Tire Dealers Association of Canada-which meets only every four years-plans to hold its national convention and trade show at the Winnipeg Convention Center, Feb. 11-14, of that same year.
