ways to engage and get to know them better. I also find supporting their campaigns with a contribution to be an invaluable relationship-building tool. They never forget your support, and it shows that we are allies who believe in and appreciate their work. If you ever have any questions about doing any of these things, I encourage you to reach out to Kenton Stanhope, CNCDA Director of Government Affairs, at kstanhope@cncda.org. Based on your experience, what do you think are some easy ways to stay engaged and make a difference? In addition to attending Dealer Day, I recommend CNCDA webinars and in-person meetings, which often cover pending issues that can have a significant impact on our industry and business. As such, these insights can open avenues for members to become personally engaged and make a difference. Another easy way to participate is by taking action when you receive an advocacy alert from CNCDA. These alerts focus on proposed legislation that have major impacts on our industry, both good and bad. By taking a moment to click “send” on these alerts, you ensure your voice is heard in Sacramento and demonstrate that you are engaged on the issues that matter most to your dealership. 21 California New Car Dealer Quarterly
