AutoAlert LLC announced Tuesday its sponsorship of the Automotive Leadership Under 40 Retreat (ALU40).

Auto Alert CEO Brian Skutta, who took the helm at the company in September, will also speak about his own experiences at the retreat, as well.

The event, designed to recognize and bring together the industry’s up-and-coming dealer leaders, is scheduled for March 17-19 at the SLS Las Vegas Hotel.

"Given the pace and complexity of automotive retailing, younger dealer principals, managers and service provider leaders often learn on the job and on the fly.  Events such as the ALU40 retreat create a collaborative forum to discuss the leadership skills and behaviors needed to run successful and profitable dealerships," said Skutta.

"The retreat also provides an opportunity for all of us to invest in leadership development and learning opportunities for up-and-coming leaders and have a positive impact on our industry. I am excited to hear from the fantastic list of presenters the ALU40 team has assembled," he continued.

Skutta, also part of the under 40 demographic, is set to speak about leadership observations from his experience of progressively successful auto industry and civic leadership roles at the upcoming event, AutoAlert shared.

In his presentation, Skutta aims to help attendees understand how to “purposely define and communicate leadership principles, create a playbook for repeatable success, and find their ‘A’ team.”
