MONTANA AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION EVP’S MESSAGE Bruce Knudsen Executive Vice President It's hard to believe that a new year is almost upon us. Looking back over this past year and the many issues we as an industry have faced — from regulatory changes to our nation's economic volatility — I can honestly say that Montana auto dealers are some of the best and brightest out there. Each one of you has made adjustments, solved unforeseen problems and risen above insurmountable odds. Recently, I had the chance to visit our nation’s capital for the annual NADA Washington, D.C. Conference with several of our Montana car dealers. Our time there was spent meeting with our legislators to discuss key federal issues impacting dealerships today. I am confident that solutions to many legislative issues are in the works and that our voice was heard and will be a part of any future decisions. The 109th Annual Family Convention has come and gone, and I’m happy to report that this year's event was a huge success. It was great to see all of you there. I enjoyed catching up with you and learning from the impressive line of speakers. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors and exhibitors. The products and services that they bring to the table help keep the industry strong. LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR 6
