COSTA MESA, Calif. (BRAIN) —The National Bicycle Dealers Association says it has reached out to the newly formed Professional Bicycle Mechanics Association to offer its support.
"Todd Grant (the president of the NBDA) was one of the first people to contact me when I formed the group on Facebook," said James Stanfill, the president of the PBMA. "He reached out simply as a peer, which I truly appreciated, and has been very supportive of our vision and an incredible resource on the ins and outs of life as an association."
Grant, who took over as the NBDA's president last August, said, "I was incredibly impressed with how quickly they formed and the level of professionalism James was bringing to the group. I saw immense opportunity in working with them, as they clearly align with our focal points of values, community, passion and expertise. What the future holds is something we both talk about regularly and I'm honored, as his peer, to be able to support James' vision."
