Regulatory & Safety Compliance Seminar Possible Thanks To Industry Sponsors

This month’s Regulatory & Safety Compliance Seminar is sponsored by THOR Industries, Winnebago Industries, Forest River Inc., Lippert, Dometic, Dexter, and Dave Carter & Associates. It is the support of these member companies that make it possible for the RV Industry Association to offer the seminar for free to our members.

The sponsors’ support of this event shows their dedication to safety and compliance in the RV industry. And because of our sponsors, we have been able to expand the programming this year.

For the first time ever, the Regulatory & Safety Compliance Seminar will include a presentation from Jeremy Hamilton of Transport Canada. He will present on several topics, including Transport Canada regulatory updates and recalls as well as RV labeling in Canada. The seminar will still focus on several NHTSA-related issues but with a broader look at regulatory concerns.

After the keynote presentations, there will be a panel comprised of industry compliance veterans who will discuss key safety issues and answer attendee questions. The panelists are:

• David Mihalick, Vice President Vehicle Safety & Regulatory Compliance, THOR Industries
• Von Lindsey, Owner, Lindsey Research Services
• Mike Becker, Head of Compliance, Forest River
• Kevin Van Bronkhorst, Director of Enterprise Product Safety and Compliance, Winnebago Industries
• Christie Iannetta, Partner, Nelson Mullins

The panelist discussions will cover a wide range of topics, including parts traceability, recall completion rate efforts, researching possible safety issues, external communications, and consent orders.

Following the panel Q&A, the day will end with a presentation from Dale Kardos of Kardos & Associates LLC. Dale has been assisting motor vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, and trade associations in addressing North American regulations and legislation concerning motor vehicle safety, fuel economy, and emissions for 27 years.
