The National Vehicle Leasing Association (NVLA) recently elected Automobile Consumer Services CEO Tarry Shebesta as its president for the 2024-2025 term.

During its annual conference in Austin, Texas, Shebesta became the only NVLA member ever elected to a second term as president. He previously served in 2007-2008.

Shebesta has been an active NVLA board member since 2002. Last year, he received the NVLA Clemens-Pender Award, the association’s highest honor being recognized for having the industry’s highest standards of professional conduct, dedication, hard work and ethics.

Shebesta said he has major plans and ideas for his new term as NVLA president.

“My priorities are to expand membership types to include new/used car dealers, lenders, and lease-here, pay-here dealers, and expand our lease educational programs,” Shebesta said in a news release. “Other areas of attention include enhancing relationships with auto manufacturers, addressing legal issues affecting the leasing industry, and expanding NVLA’s Women in Leasing networking group.”
