PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE SWEET SUMMERTIME AND LOOKING AHEAD TO A BUSY FALL JASON WILSON PRESIDENT, KADA We have settled into summer after an amazing 2025 KADA Family Convention, and we are making plans for a busy fall! Our recent convention in Mackinac Island was not only a success — it was a true celebration of connection, collaboration and community. I hope all who attended were able to come away refreshed, renewed and refocused! A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, whose generous support made every element of this event possible — from the insightful sessions and networking opportunities to the fun, family-friendly gatherings that brought everyone together. Your partnership continues to be the backbone of our success. We were thrilled to see both new and familiar faces during our sessions, where ideas were exchanged and our collective vision for the future became even stronger. The energy was electric, and it’s clear that great things are ahead for our members and their businesses. The KADA team hopes the memories made on Mackinac Island will stay with our attendees for years to come. For those of you already planning for next year, registration and room reservations for the 2026 KADA Family Convention at the incredible Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, are OPEN! Check out our website for more information and to sign up. Summer has also included a few new law changes, most notably the change to temporary tag parameters contained in KRS 186A.100. A temporary tag will no longer be required for every vehicle purchase. Instead, where customers have an existing plate on a traded-in vehicle of the same class, they may use their existing plate in lieu of a temporary tag. There remain some procedural hurdles with this process, so make sure you stay tuned for additional guidance from KADA as we work with stakeholders to establish a seamless process for dealers, clerks and customers. Fall will be here before we know it, and KADA has some great opportunities to bring our members together across the state. Our District Meetings will be hitting the road in October, where we will have programming in Lexington, Louisville, Florence, Hopkinsville and Bowling Green. The specific dates and locations can be found on page 16, so make sure you get signed up to attend, and bring a fellow dealer who would benefit from a deeper involvement in KADA. Finally, remember our Kentucky Dealer University (KDU) programming. KDU has had several successful virtual and in-person classes this year, and its Title Clerk and Controller Workshops will be held Nov. 18-19, 2025, at the Louisville Slugger Museum. Make sure your staff gets an opportunity to participate in these workshops, as they have been incredible learning and collaborative opportunities for those in attendance. As always, thank you for all you do for your communities and our industry. Onward! 6 KENTUCKY AUTO DEALER

KADA FAMILY CONVENTION: HIGHLIGHTS, TRENDS AND TAKEAWAYS Our 2025 KADA Family Convention in Mackinac Island, Michigan, was an incredible opportunity to refresh, renew and refocus with our members. While Mackinac Island has been known for centuries as an ideal vacation spot, the national landmark is largely known for having no cars, making it an escape to a simpler time for all who visit. This beautiful and unique location was so much fun for our dealers, allied members, preferred partners and guests. The convention featured Kevin Tynan of the Presidio Group, who gave us important insights into where our industry is headed and Ivette Rivera of NADA, who delivered a valuable presentation on the latest from Washington, where it seems there are always initiatives in motion. We discussed all the latest in electronic registration and titling with Champ Titles, Vitu and Tyler Technologies. Headline Sponsor, ComplyAuto’s Sherryl Nens, shared the dos and don’ts of advertisements in light of the new automotive tariffs in place. We appreciate the South Dakota Automobile Dealers Association and the West Virginia Automobile Dealers Association lending us their executives — Christine Vinatieri-Erickson and Jared Wyrick — for an engaging panel discussion with our own Jason Wilson. Our Garden Party was set in the Grand Hotel’s legendary Tea Garden, allowing our attendees a prime opportunity to enjoy the Mackinac Island sunset. The event featured fun craft activities for the kids while the adults enjoyed a cocktail reception before dinner. The Garden Party was great, and the company was even better. We closed out the convention with a Fabulous 1950s party and — as usual — our members rose to the challenge, with costumes that were ready to shake, rattle and roll! Thanks to all who attended. We can’t wait to see you for the 2026 KADA Family Convention. 10 KENTUCKY AUTO DEALER

EGACY, OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN LIQUIDITY 18 KENTUCKY AUTO DEALER
For many dealers, the question of what to do with the store doesn’t start with a spreadsheet. It starts around the dinner table — or maybe in the quiet moments when things finally slow down. After decades of building a business, employing people in your community and putting your name on the sign out front, the decision about what’s next is personal. And when family is involved, it’s rarely simple. Some dealers have always imagined passing the business to the next generation. Others have watched their kids build successful lives in different fields and quietly wonder if a handoff is still the right move. And often, there’s a mix of feelings — pride, uncertainty, loyalty, fear of regret. That’s normal. The emotional weight of a family business is real, and the process of transitioning it — whether within the family or outside of it — deserves careful, honest consideration. What we frequently see is hesitation to start the conversation. No one wants to create tension. Parents worry about upsetting their children. Children don’t want to seem disinterested — or entitled. But silence tends to create more confusion, not less. In families where the transition is successful, the common thread is usually clarity: an open dialogue about roles, expectations and timing well before the handoff begins. What many don’t realize is that there’s no longer just a fork in the road — sell it or hand it down. Today, there’s a broader landscape of options. Some families structure phased ownership transfers over time, others pursue internal buyouts with financial guidance. And more recently, new models have emerged that provide liquidity for the current generation while allowing family members to retain operational control and long-term equity. These approaches offer flexibility and customization that weren’t available — or widely known — even a few years ago. In other words, keeping the business in the family no longer has to mean taking on the full burden alone. There are creative, values-aligned ways to protect legacy, preserve harmony and plan for growth across generations. Still, it’s not just about structure. One of the most overlooked parts of the transition is emotional readiness — on both sides. Is the next generation ready to lead, not just manage? Is the outgoing generation truly ready to step back? And is everyone aligned on the vision for the future? These questions don’t have easy answers, but avoiding them doesn’t make them go away. The good news is that starting the conversation doesn’t commit you to any one path. It just opens the door to explore your options — with your family, your advisors and on your own terms. As buy-sell advisors, we’re often invited into these moments of uncertainty — before a decision has been made, when the road ahead is unclear. And it’s in these early conversations that the real value of planning emerges. Our role is not to push a transaction but to help dealers weigh their options, understand what’s possible and make thoughtful decisions that honor both the legacy they’ve built and the future they envision. These decisions don’t come with a playbook. But they do come with the opportunity to pause, reflect and shape the future with intention. Whether your path leads to a family transition, a sale to a third party or something in between, the most important move is starting the conversation — while you still have time to shape the outcome on your terms. After all, legacy isn’t just what you leave behind. It’s how you choose to move forward. Learn how our experienced team can help you navigate your next move with confidence by contacting Mark Shackelford Sr. at (330) 352-5651 or mark@performancebrokerageservices.com, or Mark Shackelford Jr. at (330) 634-3825 or markjr@performancebrokerageservices.com. How to Navigate the Next Chapter By Jamie Farley, Partner, Performance Brokerage Services WWW.KYADA.COM 19
ADVOCACY IN ACTION Making Your Relationships Work for Your Business From the Louisville truck plant to the production lines of Bowling Green and the anticipated EV battery plant in Glendale, Kentucky’s automotive industry is more than an economic driver — it’s a defining force in the Commonwealth. Of course, the automotive space extends far beyond production, and Kentucky’s automobile dealers have long had a seat at the table when it comes to shaping policy. KADA has been proud to be the voice of Kentucky automobile dealers for nearly a century. In that time, the impact of automobile dealers in developing legislation important to business in Kentucky has been significant. From franchise statutes to tax legislation, auto dealers have played a pivotal role in making meaningful change. With critical issues that will shape the industry on the horizon, including workforce development and training, EV infrastructure and ongoing threats to the franchise system, it is critical that dealer voices continue to shape the discussion. Kentucky’s citizen legislators value the input of automobile dealers, who have established themselves as not only successful businesspeople but also as proven community leaders. Establishing relationships, therefore, is the foundation of effective engagement. Knowing exactly who represents you enables you to take meaningful action when critical matters arise in Frankfort. Invite your legislators to tour your dealership and meet your staff. This allows the legislator to meet with his or her constituents while allowing you to showcase the economic impact of the dealership in your community. Because these visits don’t involve the media or a specific political agenda, they are some of the most enjoyable appearances a legislator can make. They also give your perspective credibility during the session, if and when you need to contact your legislator on a specific issue. The more engaged dealers are, the more effectively the industry can push back against problematic legislation and promote policies that support long-term growth. In recent years, active dealer engagement has helped stop legislation that would have weakened franchise laws and has shaped tax reform that favored small business owners. None of this happens by accident. It takes consistent messaging, coordination with the KADA team and lobbyists, and a solid strategy. Increasing your engagement can be broken down into a few simple steps: 1. Map Your Existing Network: Identify any relationships or connections you already have with local, state or federal officials. You likely have more connections than you think. 20 KENTUCKY AUTO DEALER
2. Grow Your Network: Put yourself in situations to create relationships with individuals in the industry and your community, including elected officials. You can do this by attending local chamber of commerce events, attending KADA functions and joining community organizations. 3. Engage Regularly: It’s important to regularly make contact with your network of legislators. You can achieve this by reaching out by phone or text, interacting on social media, hosting events or inviting them to visit your dealership. KADA can help you locate contact information for your elected officials. 4. Tell Your Story: When talking to legislators, you want them to remember you and your story. Personalizing the relationship and showing them how legislative and policy decisions affect your dealership, employees and community helps keep your story in the front of their minds when confronting issues in Frankfort. Kentucky dealers have been instrumental in shaping policy for decades. And its relationship with lawmakers is in the best shape it has ever been. To keep this momentum going, dealer engagement in the political process is pivotal and will ensure continuing decades of success. Start a conversation, attend a legislative event or contact the association about getting involved. WWW.KYADA.COM 21
