Garrison Hudkins has been elected as vice president of the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) for the 2020-2021 term, serving on the executive leadership team with President Julie Picard and President-elect R. Charles Nichols. 

Hudkins is the vice president of Southern Auto Auction, Easton Powersports Auction and SAFS Inc. Joining the East Windsor, Connecticut, auction in 2010, he became the third generation in the family business founded in 1947 by his wife’s grandfather Larry Tribble, Sr., and currently owned by Larry Tribble, Jr.

“Garrison brings to our executive team a variety of business experience in addition to a decade spent in management of the nation’s largest, privately owned, independent auto auction,” said NAAA Chief Executive Officer Frank Hackett. “We’re happy to have him continue the legacy of leadership of his in-laws Larry Tribble, Jr., and Larry Tribble, Sr., who both served the association as NAAA presidents.”
