News and updates from SEMA's councils and committees.
Select Committee nominations for SEMA's councils and committees are
currently being accepted until March 25, 2011. There are 12 council and
committee groups within SEMA, and each represents a collection of SEMA
members that share a common business purpose or market segment.
Councils work to identify related business goals, issues and challenges
that require a special focus by the association.
A few years ago, SEMA and its Wheel & Tire Council (WTC) worked with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to develop an industry testing practice for aftermarket wheels. SAE J2530 (Aftermarket Wheels Performance Requirements and Testing Procedures) outlines performance and sampling guidelines, testing procedures and marking requirements for aftermarket wheels used on cars, light trucks and multipurpose vehicles. The document identifies three main areas of testing, including cornering and radial fatigue and impact strength. A manufacturer can purchase J2530 specifications from SAE and test at its own internal lab or at any testing facility of its choosing, so long as that facility maintains the necessary equipment to perform the tests.

Because “social media” are such buzzwords these days, a lot of people
think that these new channels somehow exist in a different dimension of
the space-time continuum and that different rules and laws of physics
apply. But when it comes to customer service and
building and protecting your business reputation, the same principles
apply in social media as in all other channels of communication between
you and your customers. The following are three basic things that you
should do well in customer service. But doing so may pay off
differently in social media.
