The National Auto Auction Association has elected its vice president for 2015-2016, finalizing its executive board for the term. Chosen for the position is Warren Clauss, who has been general manager at ADESA Buffalo since 1996.

Clauss, who was elected at the association’s convention last month, serves along president Mike Browning and president-elect Jerry Hinton.

He has been involved in NAAA executive leadership positions since 2004, most recently serving as a member of the association’s Legislative, Membership and Convention committees.

Clauss was president of what’s called the Eastern Chapter during the 2004-2005 term and was on NAAA’s board of directors from 2006 to 2008 and from 2013 to 2014.

He joined the auction industry in 1992 as controller at ADESA Buffalo, before moving up to the assistant general manager role in 1994 and the GM role in 1996.
