AADA Staff GREG KIRKPATRICK President Greg has held the position of president of the Arkansas Automobile Dealers Association (AADA) since Jan. 1, 2017. AADA is a trade organization representing the interests of Arkansas’ franchised new car and truck dealers since 1932. Greg is an attorney with almost 20 years of experience in state government. Prior to his current position with AADA, Greg was the director of the Arkansas Motor Vehicle Commission for 12 years. KIM MARTIN Finance Director Kim has served as the finance director at AADA for nearly 21 years. Before her move to AADA, Kim owned and operated a franchised retail business for 10 years. By the time of her hire at AADA, Kim was no stranger to the automotive industry. Her father, Jim Lindsey, spent his entire career working for area Ford dealerships, building and managing their massive parts departments. Kim recalls many nights verifying the inventory of copious auto parts and many summers filling in as an extra set of hands in the parts office. Naturally, Kim’s fondness for accuracy of numbers and organization was ingrained at an early age. Still today, Kim prides herself on the values learned from her father and truly enjoys working for AADA’s franchised dealers. Kim is responsible for all AADA company accounts and serves as the staff liaison for the CAADSSIF Workers Compensation Trust Fund. Kim grew up in central Arkansas. She and her husband of 33 years, Frank, reside in Sherwood. They have two adventurous adult children, Hayden and Haley, and two spoiled Dachshund granddogs, Augie and Winston. 12 Arkansas Auto Dealer
