The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and Commissioner Spencer Moore hosted the International Trade Association Conference for the first time.
Georgia was at the center of identity management and highway safety as Georgia DDS and Moore held the event for roughly 1,200 attendees from licensing, motor vehicle, and law enforcement agencies all over the globe.
The event was for the Annual American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) International Conference.
Moore has served as the chair of AAMVA’s board for the past year, a first for Georgia. Moore’s position allowed the State of Georgia the opportunity to host the Annual International Conference (AIC) for the first time.
Attendees convened in Atlanta for three days of sessions to discuss issues affecting driver services and highway safety as well as potential solutions.
“It has been an honor to serve as AAMVA International Board Chair and the highlight was hosting this prestigious event in the great State of Georgia,” Moore said. “AIC is a unique educational and networking opportunity to share the latest innovations and best practices in identity management, highway safety, motor vehicle and public safety, and other services.”
The DDS also provided an on-site tour of the newly renovated Atlanta DDS Customer Service Center. The expansion features the latest in customer service technology including four customer service kiosks and the ability to check-in with a Georgia Digital Driver’s License.
This year’s iteration of the AIC saw a record number of attendees and the largest charitable contribution, with a donation of over $25,000 for Atlanta’s Shepherd Center, a private hospital.
