Leading Automotive Technical Standards Association, STAR, Announces 2026 Board of Directors and Officers

“STAR’s 2026 Board reflects the depth, diversity, and commitment of our membership across dealers, OEMs, and technology providers,” said Steve Zadoorian, Executive Director of STAR. “This group brings a strong mix of technical expertise and real-world retail experience that will help guide STAR’s standards, governance, and strategic priorities as the industry continues to evolve.”

STAR’s 2026 officers are:

JP Garvey, Chairman

John Reed, Vice Chairman

Arlene Clements, Secretary

Harsha Yarram, Treasurer

STAR holds its Board of Director elections as part of its annual General Session meeting prior to NADA’s annual conference and expo. Each member of the Board serves a rolling three-year term. This provides open slots for one representative from each of STAR’s member classifications to be elected to the Board each year. Elections are competitive- only those member organizations in good financial standing allowed to vote or run for a seat on the Board. Officer elections are held annually once that year’s Board of Directors is installed. Associate members are non-voting members and therefore ineligible to run or vote for STAR’s Board of Directors. STAR’s Board meetings are open to all STAR members, who are encouraged to attend to learn more about STAR’s upcoming priorities and procedures.
