UNPACKING THE 2024 “FAMILY REUNION” CONVENTION BY KALEENA GUZMAN MAJOR EVENTS & ASSOCIATION PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM DIRECTOR, NHADA On Sunday, June 23, NHADA members, partners and their families all arrived at our Annual “Family Reunion” Convention at Mill Falls on the Lake, a timeless all‑seasons resort on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. Although we’ve stayed at this resort before, this year was jam-packed with so many fun activities, like the much-favored tiki boat tour! On the first night, our guests enjoyed a new activity: an exciting edition of the Family Feud game show. This added a lively and competitive spirit, fostering camaraderie and entertainment among attendees. On day two, our attendees embarked on their own activities, choosing from several surrounding attractions — from wine tasting, golf, go-karts and the Mini Winni party bus. Although we had a little rain, there was no shortage of smiles. The second and final evening’s dinner was kickstarted by our Annual Meeting slideshow presentation. Following dinner, entertainment was provided by acclaimed Mentalist Ryan Lally; this also did not disappoint. Before departure, NHADA Diamond Partner Andy Graff from ComplyAuto gave a brief presentation on cybersecurity, outlining steps members can take to mitigate risks following the recent CDK Global incident. This year’s event would not have been as successful as it was without our dedicated and supportive event sponsors, including Prime Sponsor Auto Auction of New England, Northeast Auto Auction, Albin Randall & Bennett, Nucar, ComplyAuto, ICL Autos, Zurich, Armatus Dealer Uplift, Northeast Delta Dental, Gordon-Darby NHOST Services, TSS Advisors, Bernstein Shur, Best Ford, Brown & Brown Dealer Services, GW Marketing Services, Quirk Auto Dealers, JM&A Group, Portsmouth Ford and Profile Powersports.
