The Automotive Content Professionals Network (ACPN), a community of the Auto Care Association, announced that Omer Zanoor, of Canadian Tire Corp. is the 2024 ACPN Scholarship winner.

The ACPN Scholarship awards one deserving individual, who has the passion and determination to pursue professional and personal growth, the opportunity to attend and engage with the ACPN community at the 2024 Auto Care Connect conference.

“We are thrilled to be able to help educate, inspire and connect Omer by awarding him this year’s scholarship,” said ACPN Chair Chelsea Scally. “We are also very grateful for ETE Reman who graciously sponsored this year’s scholarship program.”

The scholarship covers the entire cost to attend the 2024 Auto Care Connect conference and provides access to mentoring and networking opportunities. The ACPN scholarship winner also receives a tailored conference journey that will provide insight into what the aftermarket ecosystem is, who the players are, what the Auto Care Association does and how they all fit together.

ACPN’s in-person conference, formerly called the ACPN Knowledge Exchange Conference, has merged into the annual Auto Care Connect conference. Auto Care Connect will feature the same ACPN content its attendees are familiar with, in a new and refreshed format.

Auto Care Connect will take place May 5-8 in Chicago and is set to be the largest gathering of content professionals and service providers in the aftermarket.

      The Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, with support from the University of the Aftermarket Foundation, announced the establishment of the Pat Biermann Memorial Heavy Duty Scholarship. This new heavy-duty scholarship honors the life and contributions of Pat Biermann. The Alliance described Biermann was a visionary leader in the heavy-duty aftermarket, a trusted advisor to the Alliance and a beloved colleague. Biermann passed away Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at the age of 75.
      Honoring a Heavy Duty Scholarship Leader and Mentor
      The Alliance said Biermann devoted more than 40 years to the heavy-duty aftermarket, leaving an indelible legacy through his leadership, innovation and dedication. As a co-founder and long-serving president of HD America (HDA), he helped propel the organization to a position of industry leadership. After retiring, he continued to contribute his expertise as a heavy-duty advisor and consultant for the Alliance. The Alliance added that Biermann exemplified the true spirit of “Heavy Duty”—facing challenges head-on, fostering growth and mentoring the next generation.
      Pat Biermann’s Career Spanned Decades of Impact
      A graduate of Washington University, Biermann rooted his career in engineering. His work spanned leadership and strategic development and significantly impacted the commercial vehicle and heavy-duty industry. Biermann’s efforts strengthened the industry’s foundation and prepared it for future growth.
      Scholarship Supports Future Heavy-Duty Professionals
      In tribute to Biermann’s memory and his direct contributions to the Alliance, the scholarship offers a one-time award of $2,500. It supports a student actively pursuing a career within the vital heavy-duty industry. Eligible career paths include Diesel Technician, Truck Driver (CDL training), Fleet Manager, Heavy Duty Parts Specialist, or a similar heavy duty-related field.
      Legacy Invests in Skilled Hands-On Careers
      “Pat Biermann was not only an industry giant but also a trusted advisor and friend to the Alliance’s Commercial Vehicle and Heavy Duty program. His insights were invaluable, and his passion for this industry was infectious,” said Mario Gonzalez, CVHD program manager for the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance.
      “Pat truly understood that the backbone of the heavy-duty world lies in the skilled technicians, drivers, parts specialists, and fleet managers who keep things moving.
      By establishing this memorial scholarship—with the generous support of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation—we honor Pat’s legacy in a practical way: by investing directly in the dedicated individuals pursuing these essential, hands-on careers. It’s a tribute he would have deeply appreciated.”
      The Alliance said it encourages students who are committed to building careers in these essential roles to apply for the scholarship.

The company said he passed away peacefully on April 2, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, hard work and a passion for both family and business that inspired all who knew him.
      The company added that Scheer was a successful entrepreneur, but, more importantly, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a pillar of the automotive aftermarket industry and a beloved member of the Hahn Automotive family. Over the years, his unwavering commitment to Prime Automotive and his support for employees and customers helped establish Prime as a leading supplier in the Tri-State area. His continued involvement with the company after the Hahn acquisition was a testament to his enduring love for the business and industry, Hahn said.
      Danny Chessin and Eli N. Futerman, co-presidents of Hahn Automotive Warehouse, shared the following statement:
      “The Hahn family, along with all those whose lives were touched by Bobby’s leadership, friendship and generosity, will miss him dearly. We find comfort in knowing that his core values will continue to guide us, and that the foundation he built will serve as a lasting tribute to his remarkable life and career.”
      Hahn added that Scheer’s memory will live on as a blessing to his family, colleagues and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
