The WVADA 88th Annual Dealer Family Convention took place from June 12 through the 15 at the Nemacolin Woodland Resort thanks to our title sponsor, Capital Automotive. As we are almost back to normal, we had another great turnout for our convention. To begin our convention, Congresswoman Carol Miller kicked off our Protective Welcome Reception by addressing our members. Our Monday kicked off with our informative Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe board meeting, followed by our Advanced DMS & Federated Insurance business meeting with guest speakers Pete Thiel with Haig Partners and WVU Basketball Coach, Bob Huggins. The weather stayed perfect for us that day as our guests enjoyed the Huntington Bank golf scramble. The fun didn’t stop there as we concluded our day with the Ally Pool Party with live music, food and a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Tuesday began with our Jackson Kelly and Tetrick and Bartlett Dealer PAC Breakfast with our special guest, Senate President Craig Blair. Following that meeting, was our Carsignment and Suttle & Stalnaker business meeting where we had a fireside chat with NADA Chairman Mike Alford and NADA Paul Metrey, with Johnnie Brown as the moderator. Our attendees had the option to participate in the TrueCar Sporting Clay Shoot or the NADA Empower and Zurich, Pinot and Paint. Our WVADA 88th Annual Dealer Family Convention ended on Tuesday night at our United Bank Chairman’s Dinner, where we honored Roberta Olejasz. Roberta passed the gavel to our incoming Chair, Charles Rashid. Our night ended with a crowd on the dance floor and attendees enjoying the interactive Komax photo booth. t Dealer Family Convention The WVADA 88th Annual wvcar.com 12 WVADA
