CARMEL, Ind. -

Later this month, the National Auto Auction Association will kick off its annual National Auto Auction Week to recognize its members for their contributions to their local community and national economy, and one auction company recently shared its plans for the event.

ADESA announced last week that each of its 67 North American auction locations are showcasing their love of the auction industry in their respective communities in celebration of the event, which is slated for Aug. 19-23.
This year’s National Auto Auction Week will also mark the 65th anniversary of NAAA’s founding.

“We always look forward to any opportunity to celebrate our incredible industry,” said ADESA president and chief executive officer Tom Caruso, “but this year is especially exciting for all of us at ADESA. Looking forward to NAAA’s convention in September, it will be a pleasure for us to welcome our industry to ADESA’s hometown of Indianapolis.

“And, as a former president of NAAA, I look forward to thanking my good friend and colleague Paul Lips for his year of service as NAAA president and to welcome my fellow Bostonian Jack Neshe as incoming president.”

Lips is executive vice president of operations and finance at ADESA, and Neshe is the general manager at ADESA Boston.

The NAAA convention is scheduled for Sept. 3-5.
