On behalf of the entire IADA Board of Directors, we are reaching out with an important message and a sincere ask for your partnership. Doing business in Illinois has never been more challenging. The cost of operating here continues to rise — and so does the cost of protecting our interests in Springfield. That’s why your support of our Association programs like IADA-CVR, Ethos and others is more critical than ever. Please take a moment to read this issue of our magazine. Inside, you’ll find a deeper look at the powerful work IADA is doing to protect and strengthen the Illinois dealership model — a model that benefits all our dealerships. We’re asking you to take advantage of an easy and outstanding opportunity to partner through the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association to protect the Illinois dealership model. WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS Your partnership in programs like IADA-CVR and Ethos is a vital funding source that enables IADA to advocate for you — both legislatively and legally — in defense of the Illinois dealership franchise system. The entire staff of the IADA team is either advocating at the Capitol or servicing our dealerships and customers with the CVR process — or both. If you’re already participating in the CVR program, thank you. You are supporting the fight to preserve our dealership industry. If you’re not yet involved, we need you with us. To join us, please reach out to the Association office at (217) 753-0220. They’re here to help answer your questions and walk you through the sign-up process. Membership dues account for less than 5% of IADA’s total budget. Without IADA programs like CVR and Ethos, we simply couldn’t do what we do. And without IADA, it would be the state — not us — shaping the future of our industry. We can’t let that happen.
