ASCCA What You Need To KnowNov. 9, 2015
ASCCA is proud to recognize Mitch Mendenhall of Chapter 24 as November's Member of the Month. Mitch is truly a jack-of-all-trades. He's been involved in ASCCA through various capacities, beginning in San Diego as a vendor before becoming a Mitchell 1 Representative and later a Mighty Sales Representative.
Today, Mitch is now a shop owner. He's been a key player in Chapter 24, and has moved up the ranks to become a board director, vice president, and chapter representative. A testament to all of his hard work and dedication, he has been elected by his colleagues to serve as next year's Chapter 24 president.
Committed to advancing the automotive industry, Mitch spearheaded the recent Advocacy Fund Drive, which was established to help enhance ASCCA's legislative advocacy. 
"Mitch brings corporate knowledge, sales knowledge, inventory control and program management skills, along with a good personality," says ASCCA President Steve Vanlandingham.  "He is a great asset to ASCCA,  I thank him for all he does to help ASCCA succeed, and I am confident he will continue to be a key player at both the local and state level for years to come."
Congratulations Mitch! 
California's largest labor union on Tuesday unveiled its own bid to increase the statewide minimum wage, setting up dueling pay measures aimed for next year's ballot amid persistent concerns over income inequality.
