2011 Convention
October 13-16
Sanibel Harbour - Fort Myers, Florida

The SSA 2011 Convention is planned for October 13-16 at the Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa located in Fort Myers, Florida.
The picturesque setting for this resort is located on the southwest gulf coast of Florida overlooking San Carlos Bay and Sanibel Island.
Recreational opportunities include boating, fishing, fine dining, swimming, golf, fine dining, kayaking, canoe tours, swamp buggy tours and, of course, fine dining.
Our agenda is still in the planning stages but will include many discussions on CSA 2010, tire safety, brake training, business practices and the opportunity to meet with manufacturers and fellow service shops to learn about developing trends in the industry and discuss issues that are of importance to everyone in attendance.
