wvcar.com 6 WVADA President’s Message By Jared Wyrick WV Dealers are the Pillars of their Communities W VADA’s members, especially our dealers, are always stepping up to the plate and finding ways to help around their communities. Dealers in the state of West Virginia have certainly stepped up this past year by making sure they are giving back where it counts. We are always encouraging people to relocate to this wonderful state, and if our dealers continue doing the work they have done, our future generations will have a bright future. West Virginia has gone through some rough times, especially our businesses, but we continue to be innovative and find ways to conquer the obstacles. Creating jobs in West Virginia has been a top priority in this state, but an important part of keeping a job is having a reliable vehicle for transportation. WVADA and Good News Mountaineer Garage (GNMG) have worked together the past few years to develop a program, Keys to Success, to focus on reliable transportation for working individuals. Keys to Success is an auto loan program for WV citizens who are below 200% of the federal poverty level, employed and need to purchase a dependable and reliable vehicle that will allow them to maintain their everyday needs.
