SEMA has unveiled an evolved mission statement to set the association\u2019s direction as it aims for a greater leadership position in the industry:\u00a0SEMA\u2019s mission is to foster the success of the automotive aftermarket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The previous mission statement was adopted by the Board of Directors in 1992, and it\u2019s served the association and the automotive aftermarket industry well for 33 years. But as an industry that\u2019s built on innovation and change, the time had come to evolve this guiding principle to reflect the challenges and opportunities the aftermarket faces and how SEMA can help address them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe threats to our industry have never been greater, and our mission statement focuses all of our resources on those threats,\u201d said SEMA Board Chairman\u00a0Kyle Fickler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first thing that stands out about the revised statement is the reference to the industry. While the previous mission statement singled out SEMA members and businesses, the updated version calls on SEMA to foster success for the automotive aftermarket. \u00a0<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean the association is shifting focus from its members. The updated mission statement broadens the focus to supporting members by asserting itself as an industry leader. By unifying, growing and protecting the industry as a whole, SEMA\u2019s members will prosper. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Expanding this industry leadership role allows SEMA to be a coalition builder, uniquely capable of uniting other associations and automotive interest groups while serving as\u00a0the<\/em>\u00a0source of truth for everyone in the industry\u2013a rising tide that lifts all ships. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new mission statement does a great job of summing up SEMA\u2019s focus. Our goal is to foster the success of the aftermarket, and that encompasses a lot,\u201d said SEMA Board Chair-Elect\u00a0Melanie White. \u201cThis mission reflects our dedication to ensuring that our members have the confidence and tools they need to thrive in a dynamic market.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Last December, after the conclusion of the SEMA and PRI Shows, Motor1 published an article with the headline, \u201cSEMA is Becoming the Center of the Automotive Universe.\u201d That\u2019s a bold statement\u2013and represents an exciting opportunity. It illustrates how the industry is starting to view SEMA and how we are perfectly positioned to take on a greater leadership position.\u00a0<\/p>\n
