unwavering commitment to raising money for the state and federal Auto PAC. Your investment in political advocacy isn’t just about the present — it’s strategic positioning for the future. With gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial elections just two years away, the relationships and influence we build now will prove invaluable when new leadership takes the reins in Jackson. Mark your calendars for June 21-24, when the Alabama-Mississippi-Tennessee Car & Truck Dealers Convention returns to the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. Last year’s event shattered attendance records for Mississippi dealer and vendor participation, and we’re anticipating even stronger turnout this year. The convention strikes the ideal balance between professional development and relationship building. Our speaker lineup will address the pressing challenges and opportunities facing dealers today, while the Florida Panhandle setting provides the perfect environment for meaningful conversations with colleagues and industry partners. Whether you’re teeing off on championship golf courses, relaxing on sugar-white beaches or networking at evening receptions, you’ll find the convention offers something for everyone. The week culminates with our traditional fireworks spectacular over the Gulf — a fitting finale to what promises to be an outstanding event. Registration information and the complete convention agenda can be found in this issue.
