FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dear Friends:
The following information was sent to my office and may be of interest to you or someone you know.

Regards,
Representative Donna Rowland

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

We realize that you have had many questions about how to become a Volkswagen supplier. We hope that some of your questions have been answered at the meetings hosted by Volkswagen. However, we wanted to provide you with information that you can share with your constituents should you receive questions.

We are excited that the Chattanooga Chamber is hosting an event next week about how to become a Volkswagen supplier. That event flyer is attached for your information. In addition, we have attached information from an automotive conference at which a presentation was given regarding supplier relationships for Volkswagen. We have attached that power point for your review.

Finally, we have provided a one pager for suppliers and a link to the Volkswagen website to register.  We hope this information is helpful. Should you have any questions, please be sure to call or contact someone in the Miller & Martin Government Relations Team or Volkswagen representatives directly. Thanks for your help in sharing this information with your constituents.

Information on becoming a supplier with Volkswagen is available on their website:
