Harkins Returns as PALS Emcee

June 30, 2015
2 min to read


LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual P&A Leadership Summit have announced that Robert Harkins will once again serve as master of ceremonies for the 2015 event, which is scheduled for Sept. 8–10 at Paris Las Vegas.


“Bob Harkins is a man of many talents, but his energy and genuine affection for our industry make him the ideal ringmaster for event,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “We are delighted to have him back.”


Harkins will host PALS for the third consecutive year, the most recent of several such appearances, including Agent Summit in March and April’s Midwest Compliance Summit. That month, Harkins joined American Guardian Warranty Services (AGWS) as the company’s vice president of training, continuing a career in consumer finance, sales and F&I management that spans 25 years.


“I am honored to serve as your P&A Leadership Summit emcee for the third straight year,” Harkins said. “Recent actions at the legislative and judicial branches have pushed our industry to the tipping point. Events like PALS give voice to the concerns and solutions unique to the P&A segment.”


More information about Industry Summit and P&A Leadership Summit is available at the events’ websites. Attendees who register by Aug. 7 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount.

To inquire about sponsorship or exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
