At breakfast the next morning, the group attended an informational session at their hotel where they were given a legislative briefing and discussed the dealer issues in front of the Texas Legislature. It was a busy day at the Capitol, but those in the TDA group were still able to have nearly 20 meetings with legislators and their staff, including a special visit and tour with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. This group made up the biggest TADA lobby contingent on any day this session, and they did a great job telling the dealer story, emphasizing the most important issues for franchised dealers and advocating for the legislation TADA is trying to pass this legislative session. Texas Dealer Academy members did what it took to make these meetings meaningful and productive. TDA has now had three Texas Capitol Days in Austin (2017, 2019 and 2023) and two trips to Washington, D.C., the first in June of 2013 and the most recent visit in May of 2022.TADA is extremely blessed to have these young leaders actively participating in the Texas Dealer Academy. 29 TADA.ORG
