    BOWIE, Md. — The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has elected five members to its board of directors, four for full three-year terms and one for two years to fill out the vacancy created when Jim Pangle of Fountain Tire was elected secretary of the board earlier this year.

    The new directors will take office Oct. 27 during the annual membership meeting, which will be held this year via Zoom. They will join 13 existing directors to make up the association's 18-member board.

    Scott Weeden

    The directors elected to three-year terms are:

     

    • Scott Weeden, acting vice president of sales, Barnwell House of Tires, Central Islip, N.Y.;
    • Brad Feeney, director of commercial programs, TBC Corp., Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
    • Brandy Sielaff, director of human resources and safety for Commercial Tire, Meridian, Idaho; and
    • Tim BeVier, national account business development manager, Technical Rubber Co., Johnstown, Ohio.

     

    In addition, Travis Glidden, regional sales manager, Stellar Industries Inc., Garner, Iowa, will fill the two-year vacancy.

    These five were elected from a field of 10 candidates.

    Brad Feeney

    Mr. Weeden has 22 years of experience in the trucking industry, having managed and run his own freight company and managed the New York City market for a commercial tire manufacturer. Mr. Weeden said he hopes his service on the TIA board furthers the continued development of ways to keep tire technicians, drivers and pedestrians safe on and off the road.

    Mr. Feeney, a 13-year TBC veteran, oversees his company's off-highway program. He is passionate about environmental sustainability, attracting new talent and the future technologies of the tire industry. He sees service on the TIA board as a positive way to have a voice to affect change within the industry.

    Brandy Sielaff

    Ms. Sielaff has been with Commercial Tire since 2016, having previously worked for J.R. Simplot Co. for 12 years, including four years as human resources director. She also has prior experience in food manufacturing, which she credits for giving her both an understanding of operations communication, training and efficiency and an invaluable outside perspective that she is excited to bring to the TIA board of directors.

    Tim Bevier

    Mr. BeVier has 24 years of tire industry experience in various roles in the retail, commercial and OTR segments. He has introduced programs around proper industry recommended practices, while identifying approved procedures to improve efficiencies and lower overall costs. He said he feels his ability to work with so many individuals in the industry has given him a unique understanding of customer issues, concerns and expectations, and he welcomes the opportunity to provide his experience to the TIA board.

    Mr. Glidden began his career in the tire service truck industry in 1986. For the past 30 years, he has traveled extensively throughout North America selling, demonstrating, delivering and putting tire trucks into service. His experience with independent tire dealers has given him a good understanding of the industry and its challenges, including safety considerations and lack of formal training. He hopes to see TIA training classes become a more prevalent industry standard and a requirement for all tire service technicians.

    Travis Glidden

    "We are excited to welcome these new members to the TIA board of directors and look forward to their contributions in helping the association become an even more valuable resource to members and to the tire industry as a whole," TIA CEO Roy Littlefield said.

    Mr. Pangle, a business development specialist with Fountain Tire, was elected board secretary in July, putting him in line to become the group's president in 2022, according to TIA's rules of succession.
