Following the retirement of Eddie Warrington after six years with the Arkansas Independent Tire Dealers Association (AITDA), the board of directors has selected Charlie Edens as the new executive director of the AITDA this July.
The founder of Sherwood Tire Pros in Sherwood, Ark., Edens has more than 40 years of retail tire experience and retired from the business in June 2014.
He was a former AITDA board member and president and has also served as a board member of the NTDRA and TANA.
As AITDA director, Edens’ goal is to increase dealer memberships and he has traveled around the state to visit dealers since July.
