Jay Adair, president of Fairfield headquartered Copart, the nation's largest remarketing vehicle company, will key note Solano Economic Development Corporation 26th Annual Meeting on January 29 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield, CA.
Adair will talk about how Copart has changed since it opened in 1982 in Vallejo to becoming the leader in selling more than one million vehicles annual through Copart’s unique online internet auction.
Mike Ammann, president of EDC said Adair plans to speak business and government needs to respond rapidly to changes in the marketplace. "In today's current global economic crisis a company's or communities ability to seek out opportunities presented in every crisis and then take advantage by making positive changes will create the difference between success and failure," Ammann said.
