The Gaithersburg and Germantown Chapters
of the
Mid-Atlantic Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
cordially invite you to their
Monthly Business Leaders Luncheon
"Automotive Technician Training Program: Training and employment opportunities
for young adults interested in a futuristic high-tech career."
Speaker: Mr.
Archie H. Avedisian, Member Relations Specialist, Washngton Area New
Automobile Dealers Association (WANADA), Washington, DC. The Mid-Atlantic Hispanic Chamber has partnered with WANADA to promote the WANADA Technician Training Program. We need your help to help us identify young Hispanic males who like cars and are interested in a state-of-the art automotive technology career. There is a technological revolution in the automotive industry and WANADA and the Chamber offers fully paid training opportunities for young people. The Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association (WANADA) was founded in 1917 to represent and promote the retail automobile business in the Washington Metropolitan area. One of its signature programs is the WANADA Technician Training Program that was developed to provide career opportunities for young adults unable to afford post high school technician training. Unlike associate degree programs at community colleges wherein students attend fulltime, the WANADA program matches post-high school adults interested in an automotive technician career with a fulltime, paying job at a dealership and provides for their training by matching them with an in-dealership mentor who insures their in-classroom instruction is properly supported by real world automotive repair experience.
Classroom instruction occurs one full day per week at a NATEF-certified college and consists of four key modules, which are taken one per semester. Each candidate is also required to successfully complete his or her own manufacturer specific training program. Completion of all four modules (a two-year process) provides the competency needed for participants to successfully pass the ASE Certification exams required to become an ASE Master Technician.
About the Speaker: Mr. Avedisian is the President Emeritus of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Wasington and one of the leading forces in the success of the WANADA Technician Training Program. For the past 50 years he has had leadership positions with Boys Clubs throughout the United States. He earned an Master of Arts from New York University and a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of New York. He and his wife live in Montgomery Village.
When: Wednesday, October 7, 2009.
Time: 11:30 AM – 01:15 PM.
Where: Hilton Hotel - Rooks Corner, An American Bistro, 620 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 (301-977--8900).

Building a Trusted Website:
National surveys show that the top three concerns users have about their online experience, particularly when ecommerce is concerned, are: 1) Is my personal information safe and secure?; 2) can I trust the site and the information on it?; and, 3) does the site represent a credible business and has a comprehensive and easy-to-understand Privacy Policy?
Your trust is important to us. Our website has been carefully designed and is being improved continuously in order to provide you with an informative, enjoyable, credible, and secure online experience.
For example, we use state-of-the-art, 128-bit Extended Validation security technology like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect your e-Commerce transactions. Also, we partner with national and/or international organizations that are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards of service, security, reliability and trust, such as the Better Business Bureau, McAfee Secure, EventBrite, Verisign, 1&1, and Paypal.
Finally, we have developed policies and operating procedures to protect your privacy, and have periodic, one-on-one training of our staff to ensure that they are faithfully followed.
If you have questions about the security and reliability of our website, do not hesitate to contact me at President@MAHCC.org.

About our Calendar of Events:
The MAHCC Calendar of Events does not include regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, meetings of the different standing and ad-hoc committees, or any other activity where attendance is restricted to "members only."
Although we are a multilingual organization, unless otherwise indicated MAHCC-sponsored events are conducted in ENGLISH.
Inclement Weather Policy:
In the rare occasion that an event or meeting may be cancelled due to inclement weather, the MAHCC adheres to the Federal Government policy: If the Federal Government closes, events and meetings are cancelled, and if it announces a liberal leave policy, events will be held, but attendees should consider safety first in their decision to attend. Every effort will be made to post an event cancellation notice on the MAHCC website but, in its absence, the MAHCC Inclement Weather Policy takes precedence.
Moreover, since the MAHCC must pay for cancelled events, costs may not be refunded in whole or in part. Please call the Chamber office at 301-404-1946 for further information.
