NADA DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE DAN RENSHAW, PRESIDENT AND CEO, RENSHAW AUTOMOTIVE GROUP Dear Kentucky dealers, I want to wish everyone a great 2023. Despite the various challenges we’ve all experienced over the past couple of years, dealers are experiencing positive profits and sales are growing. May we keep thriving in 2023 and beyond. As we continue to face challenges and changes in the industry, please remember to work closely with our state legislators. This ensures the laws and policies that are created will protect our franchise rights and our businesses. Maintaining good relationships with the legislators who represent us in each of our districts will pay dividends in the future. Our NADA will continue to do everything in their power to help us as we drive forward into the future. Their lobbying and policy efforts extend beyond the halls of Congress and into the various departments, such as the Treasury, to ensure that our interests are always considered in every piece of legislation or policy that affects us. We must all remain close to these two great resources — NADA and KADA. When we work together as a team and leverage the strengths of our associations, we become a much more powerful dealer body. We should feel confident that our NADA and KADA will always have the betterment of our dealer body at the forefront of all they do. We certainly have great leadership in both of our associations with Mike Stanton at the helm of NADA and Jason Wilson at the helm of our KADA. There will be many changes over the next decade with new trends in the market, shifting consumer demands, varying economic factors and so on. The more we stay involved with our OEMs, our employees, our state legislators, and our U.S. Congressmen, the better and more informed we will be to march forward into the future, helping mold the industry we serve. As most of you know, we have a great team of approximately 190 employees at NADA in Washington who are constantly involved in many projects that you read about in Automotive News and on the NADA reports daily. Our NADA Show in Dallas this year was a blast, and I had the privilege of being the show’s Chairman. I’m already looking forward to next year’s show on February 1–4, 2024, in Las Vegas. I hope to see you all there! Always remember that if there’s anything I can ever do to assist our great Kentucky dealers, please feel free to let me know. I’m so honored to serve as your NADA board member in Washington. Dan Renshaw (270) 843-9041 When we work together as a team and leverage the strengths of our associations, we become a much more powerful dealer body. 8 KENTUCKY AUTO DEALER
