In addition, the MAP Advisory Council for 2011-12 was introduced, with former AMRA and MAP Board member Carl Cannova (President of Carl’s Car Clinic) added to the original five members. The MAP Advisory Council, created in October 2010, is an independent self-governing body, which advises the AMRA Board of Directors on all MAP-related matters, concerns and issues identified by the council. The AMRA Board of Directors may, from time to time, request specific input from the advisory council on topics related to automotive aftermarket service and repair, or general areas related to consumer outreach.
