Hello Fellow Louisiana Driving Schools,

 

If you haven't visited the DSAL web site lately, you may not be aware that in exactly one month, Friday, March 16th, the DSAL and the Driving School Association of the Americas (DSAA) are giving you an opportunity to see what the DSAA is about.  This is our National Trade Association; they are coming to New Orleans to put on a Conference on March 16th and then a Board Meeting on March 17th.  I have attached an AGENDA for the Conference.  If you have never been to a DSAA Conference, this is your chance, DSAL MEMBERS ARE ENTITLED TO ONE FREE ATTENDEE ($50 for any additional attendees).  You will never get a better deal than this; remember to get a FREE ADMISSION, YOU MUST BE UP TO DATE ON YOUR 2012 DSAL DUES.

ONE OTHER IMPORTANT NOTE:  Rumor has it (from a very credible source) that when the new rules (Title 55) are promulgated this year, every LADPS Certified Driving Instructor will have to take 4 hours of CONTINUING EDUCATION.  We purposely set up the first 4 hours of this Conference to meet that criteria and you will get a Certificate of Completion for attending.  Ask yourself, when was the last time I attended something to grow my knowledge, so that I can be a better Instructor, Driving School or Owner?  Hope to see you in New Orleans.

 

Driven to Save Lives,

Bud Chauncy

NEW DSAA BENEFITS!

 

Dear Valued School Owner:

 

Following many months of diligent research and countless interviews with driving school owners we are pleased to announce two great programs for driving schools: Insurance and Credit Card Processing. Now, whether you operate one or 100 vehicles, you can enjoy the benefits of DSAA's group buying power, with access to the best rates and service providers, available to help you improve your bottom line. Furthermore, these recommendations come, not only from the DSAA, but from satisfied school owners.

Insurance

 

The DSAA has selected Critchell-Miller & Petrus Inc. as our insurance provider for the DSAA National Insurance Program. Among the frustrations driving school owners expressed were: escalating and/or excessive premiums, a lack of resources for managing and/or reducing risk, poor customer service and difficulty getting timely, competitive quotes for comparison shopping.

 

Critchell-Miller & Petrus Inc. has received excellent recommendations from the DSAA member school owners who are currently clients. Moreover, Critchell-Miller & Petrus Inc. works with insurers that have specific experience and expertise to meet the needs of driving schools.

 

Contact information for our Critchell-Miller & Petrus Inc. Account Executive, Brian Dolewski, is attached below.  Attendees at the November DSAA National Conference in Austin, Texas have already had the opportunity to meet Brian personally. Please contact him directly.

Credit Card Processing

 

The DSAA has selected TransNational Bankcard as our credit card payment processor.  Among the frustrations driving school owners expressed were: hard to understand statements, excessive fees, poor customer service and an inability to clearly determine how much of each customer's payment actually makes it into their bank account.

 

In a nutshell, TransNational received glowing testimonials from those school owners who are currently clients of TransNational. Furthermore, TransNational has met or exceeded our criteria on every count during a one year pilot program, including providing all payment processing for the DSAA web site.

 

To take advantage of this exclusive offer, you must be a DSAA member in good standing. Attached below is a letter of introduction from our TransNational rep, Matt Gandolfo. Please contact him directly.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.
