LAS VEGAS (Nov. 3, 2014) — The Tire Industry Association held its Annual Meeting Nov. 3 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas the week of the 2014 SEMA Show. Outgoing TIA President Ken Brown passed the president's gavel to Freda Pratt-Boyer of Purcell Tire & Rubber, and new and returning board members were welcomed into the association, and members passed two resolutions — one addressing federal funding of the national highway system and one to support passage of periodic vehicle safety inspection programs in both individual states and on the national level.
