COLLEYVILLE, Texas — Michele Myers, vice president of
financial services of the New York-based Dorschel Group, recently posted a
perfect score on the rigorous 200-question Association of Finance &
Insurance Professional Senior Certification Exam.

In 23 years of administering the exam, AFIP executive
director David Robertson said Myers is only the fourth person to answer every
question correctly. And Robertson indicated more than 40,000 F&I managers
and finance company executives have taken the exam that consists of 150 federal
law questions, 25 state law questions and 25 ethics questions.

"It's a rare accomplishment," Robertson said.

Myers has almost 30 years of experience in the automotive
industry. She started in vehicle sales, then worked in customer relations and
F&I before joining the Dorschel Group in 1989 as an F&I manager.

After advancing to finance director, Myers was appointed to
her current position in 1998.

"I'm fortunate to
work for a dealer group that sets high expectations and provides me with the
support to meet and exceed those expectations," Myers said.

"And thanks to the Rochester Automotive Dealers Association
for hosting the special AFIP on-site certification study group sessions," she
continued.

The Dorschel Group is a multi-franchised automotive
organization with six locations in upstate New York. In addition to its new
vehicle dealerships, it operates a licensed sales finance company, two
independent used car stores, a collision center, a café and a recently
completed drive-in photo booth.

The Dorschel Group has ranked on the list of Rochester's Top
100 privately held companies 16 times.

"Michele Myers has
been with us for 24 years in a variety of leadership positions and has become
perhaps our finest all around executive, Dorschel Group president Rick Dorschel
said.

"I heard that Michele's perfect performance on the AFIP exam
was one in 10,000, but Michele is one in a million in my eyes and in those of
her co-workers as well," Dorschel went on to say.
