GLANCDA’s spring events not only celebrated industry achievements and milestones but also underscored the importance of education, community involvement and professional excellence in the automotive sector. Additionally, GLANCDA continued its workforce development efforts by awarding grants to Cerritos College and Citrus College Automotive programs. These grants helped fund a toolbox and tools for the top students in their graduating classes. GLANCDA will continue this support throughout the year at other automotive programs throughout the county. GLANCDA has also been at work identifying local elected officials campaigning for office who embrace the values and vision that GLANCDA believes will best serve the entire membership. Participating in roundtable discussions and attending informational fundraisers are routine parts of this process. Continuing to advocate with current state and local legislators on policy matters that impact dealers is the work at hand. In early June, GLANCDA was represented as part of a delegation of business leaders with an organization called BizFed. This group spent two days in Sacramento and focused on some top-of-mind issues such as PAGA and CEQA reform, Measure HLA, and supporting and opposing other bills that impact the business community. Overall, GLANCDA’s spring events not only celebrated industry achievements and milestones but also underscored the importance of education, community involvement and professional excellence in the automotive sector. Take a look at the pictures on the following pages for a glimpse of the great quarter we’ve had! 13
