“ This past year has been a year of growth, collaboration and advocacy for the automotive industry in West Virginia. title and registration seminars for more than 300 title clerks, and hosting our second Board Retreat for our dedicated members to plan and strengthen our collective vision for the future. West Virginia experienced several changes this election cycle and I look forward to working with the new members of the House and Senate. WVADA will be focused on educating the new members about our industry. The surveys that many of you completed earlier this year have allowed us to publish an economic impact booklet that will serve as a strong educational tool on the importance of franchise dealers and their economic impact throughout the state. WVADA is ready to embrace 2025 with new challenges already peaking above the horizon with Scout’s recent announcement of direct-to-consumer sales of their new line of electric and hybrid vehicles. WVADA has anticipated this move, and we specifically added language to our franchise statute last session to address and forbid this type of action from an OEM. WVADA will ban with NADA and other state associations to ensure that YOUR franchise law is protected and upheld. Again, thanks to all of you for your continued support of WVADA. Here’s to a successful year behind us and an even more prosperous one ahead. WVADA NEWS 7
