West Liberty University President Dr. Stephen Greiner and Athletic Director Lynn Ullom have welcomed A&B Kia as the first member of the WLU athletic department’s Courtesy Car Program.
The Courtesy Car Program provides West Liberty coaches and administrators with additional quality vehicles to aid in recruiting, scouting or other university business.
The Benwood, W.Va. auto dealer presented Greiner and Ullom with a 2016 Kia Sorrento to be used over the course of the 2017-18 academic year. In return, A&B Kia will receive special promotional opportunities through the WLU athletic department.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Mike Ferns and the entire A&B Kia organization in laying the foundation for our Courtesy Car Program,” Ullom said. “We designed this program to benefit both parties, setting up a nice incentive package for our participating dealerships in appreciation for this meaningful commitment.”
