The Certified Automotive Parts Association elected three new board members and appointed interim leadership positions, the automotive parts certification organization announced Wednesday.
Mike Dolabi of Parts Authority, Seth Ingall of Crash Champions and Gerry Poirier of Vector Squared joined CAPA’s board of directors. The nonprofit organization certifies automotive crash parts through quality standards.
Clark Plucinski stepped down as board chair after 14 years and moved to the past chair position. Poirier will serve as interim chair while Troy Penry of GEICO takes the interim vice chair role until the board elects permanent leadership.
