A Message From TADA President Darren Whitehurst The first four months of 2022 have been great for me at TADA. Not since I started more than two years ago have I had the opportunity to visit with so many dealers from across the state. I am regularly visiting dealerships and local communities, and I attended my second NADA Conference in Las Vegas, where I was able to connect with many Texas dealers at our Texas Party and throughout the meetings at the conference. TADA just hosted our Annual Conference in Austin, where we honored Tony Gullo as our latest Texas Legend inductee. There was a lot of great fellowship at both events, and despite the challenges of the continuing chip shortage and the lack of inventory, it was great to hear stories about how dealers have found ways to be successful and take care of their customers. At the annual conference, the Legislative Committee began its work preparing for the 88th Texas Legislature, which begins Jan. 10, 2023. If there are issues you believe On both the Democratic and Republican sides, there are statewide races and local races that will be important to our issues, so I hope you will take the time to get to know the candidates and that you take the time to vote in the runoff election on May 24. I would also ask that you encourage your employees to get to the polls as well. 6
