Mahwah, NJ – June 13, 2013 – Doug Albregts, President, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, has been invited to deliver the keynote address at the June BTA Mid-America meeting, Cruise to Success, to be held June 17-18 in Chicago. At this meeting, Albregts will explore the new landscape facing the channel and what manufacturers and dealers can do to help protect and transform their collective business.
