McLEAN, VA – The American Truck Dealers (ATD) has assembled a leading lineup of manufacturing, political, and economic speakers for its 45th annual Convention & Exposition in Grapevine, Texas, Apr. 26-28. Speakers include:

• John Felice, general manager of Ford Division Marketing.

• Charlie Cook, political analyst and author of The Cook Political Report.

• Dr. Paul Chimerine, economist.

• Bryan Dodge, radio personality and author of How to Build a Better You.

“With its cast of speakers and workshops, the convention will provide attendees with knowledge of our current social, political, and economic world,” said ATD Convention Chairman Ron Remp of Wheeling Truck Center in Wheeling, W.Va. “A solid understanding of these forces will help dealers navigate through these challenging times, run leaner and prepare for an economic recovery.”
