Editor's Note:

As some of you may know, Brian Caudill has departed SEMA.  My name is
Conrad Wong.  I have been hired to replace Brian as the leader of
SEMA’s grassroots lobbying effort - the SEMA Action Network - as well as
the new Director of Government and Public Affairs in SEMA's
Washington, D.C. office.  I want to maintain and build upon his close
relationships with many of our car clubs, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. 
Please feel free to write me with any concerns that you or your club might
have.  My e-mail address is
conradw@sema.org.

I am a muscle-car enthusiast, having several '60s-era muscle cars, such
as a 1967 Hemi Dodge Coronet R/T, and several late-model muscle cars,
including a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS.  I also am an attorney by training,
having been in private practice for five years, and in government with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for ten years.  After turning my own
wrenches on my cars for many years, I decided to merge my personal
interests and my professional background with the government-affairs
position at SEMA, which I have long held to be the premier trade
association for the automotive and truck aftermarket sector.

I look forward to working with you, and hope to meet you personally!

-Conrad Wong
