Pub. 14 2024 Issue 3

IADA welcomed all our Illinois dealers who are members of the NADA President’s Club along with our board of directors. A cocktail hour and program were hosted at the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Paul Metrey, NADA executive vice president of public policy, and Gary Gilchrist, 2024 NADA chairman, addressed the members, and then the museum was open exclusively for Illinois President’s Club donors. The event was designed to thank all our dealers who participated at a high level in supporting the legislative efforts of NADA. IADA offers our sincere thanks to all dealers who participate and support both our state IADA and national NADA PACs. We offer special gratitude to Jamie Auffenberg, Auffenberg Auto Mall in Shiloh, and Ryan Gremore, O’Brien Auto Group in Bloomington, who serve as NADA national PAC director and NADA Illinois director, respectively. IADA also held our Annual Spring Board of Directors Meeting & Reception the following day at our Association Office. The reception is a nice way for us to thank the state legislators, staff and other government agency personnel for their support of our efforts throughout the year. Thanks to all our directors who offered their time and efforts to steer IADA in the direction to best support and strengthen the dealership franchise model! 9 Illinois Automobile Dealer News
