Leading the Way Greetings CATA Members, I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jennifer Morand, Co-President of the CATA along with Dave Sloan, who earlier this year announced his plans to retire in spring 2024. I am beyond fortunate for Dave Sloan, our current board members and outgoing Chicago Auto Show Chairman Kevin Keefe who have elected me to serve in this prestigious role. That said, I am not new to the CATA or the automotive industry. Prior to this role, I served as the Director of Public Relations and Social Media for the CATA for more than a decade. I look forward to bringing my background and skills into this new role as President of the CATA and General Manager of the Chicago Auto Show. As a CATA dealer member, you and your dealership(s) have access to a variety of vital resources to support your business ranging from: • Dealer point-of-sale forms • Legal services • Employee relations and HR consultation • Legislative support • Educational resources and seminars • Fun networking events • Complimentary meeting/staff conference and training space • Dealership listings and new and used vehicle inventory posting on DriveChicago.com • Chicago Auto Show perks/discounts • In-store signage and materials to help you run your dealership efficiently and effectively All of this and so much more is available to dealers and included with your CATA membership. In addition to this Directory and Annual Report, we recently launched CATA’s new quarterly publication, CATA Up to Speed, designed to keep members apprised of the latest happenings within the CATA and our dynamic, fast-paced industry. Beyond serving this powerful, charitable dealer community, I have the honor and privilege, along with our outstanding CATA team members, of producing the largest and best auto show in the country: the Chicago Auto Show. We’ve been hard at work to maintain relevancy at a time when the impact of an auto show is questioned, and I can honestly say that the future is bright for the Windy City show. 8 LETTER FROM THE CO-PRESIDENT
