2025 Annual Report 3 As I reflect on 2025, I am filled with gratitude, pride and optimism for the future of our industry. It has been a privilege to serve as president of the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association, representing more than 300 franchised new vehicle dealerships throughout Los Angeles County. Our dealers are much more than successful businesses. They are employers, community partners, innovators and trusted advocates for the customers they serve every day. The strength of GLANCDA begins with leadership. I am grateful for our dedicated 12-member Board of Directors, representing more than 15 automotive line makes and every region of Los Angeles County. Their commitment and experience have helped keep our association focused on what matters most: government relations and advocacy, workforce development, philanthropy, strengthening relationships with our OEM partners, enhancing public understanding of our industry and protecting the franchise system that has served consumers so well for generations. Advocacy remains one of the association’s greatest responsibilities. Throughout the year, GLANCDA worked tirelessly at the local, state and federal levels to ensure the voice of franchised new car dealers was heard by policymakers. Protecting and strengthening the franchise system continues to be a top priority as new manufacturers pursue direct-to-consumer sales models that seek to bypass California’s franchise laws. We remained actively engaged on issues involving companies such as Scout and Afeela while advocating for policies that recognize the tremendous value franchised dealerships provide to consumers, manufacturers, employees and their communities. One of our most impactful initiatives was our annual legislative fly-in to Sacramento in partnership with the California New Car Dealers Association. Nearly 150 dealerships from across California participated, including a President’s Message By JEANNE BREWER President, GLANCDA
