GADA Members:

I am pleased to present GADA’s 2024 Membership Directory to you. I encourage you to use the Membership Directory often throughout the year. If you’re trying to reach a fellow dealer, a particular government organization or someone in the GADA office, this directory has the contact information you need. It includes the Franchise Practices Act, Auto Advertising compliance information and much more.

I also encourage you to make use of our Associate Member listings. GADA’s Associate Members provide products and services to help our dealerships. Many of these companies support GADA in several ways, including sponsoring the annual GADA Convention, advertising and contributing valuable content to GADA publications. The support of Associate Members is crucial to the success of GADA and we appreciate their participation in our organization.

If you are not active in GADA, I urge you to change that in 2024. Playing an active role in GADA and taking advantage of all that the Association has to offer will help you, especially as our industry evolves and becomes more complex. You will benefit from getting involved in so many ways — from being educated on important information through webinars and email alerts to receiving excellent customer service and dividends from the GADA Workers’ Compensation Fund to networking and making lasting friendships at the GADA Convention.

If you’re asking yourself how to get involved … that’s easy! If you are receiving GADA emails, be sure to open and read them. If you aren’t receiving GADA emails, the first step is to send an email to info@gada.com to get on the list. When there’s an event, such as Dealer Day at the Capitol, Regional Meetings or webinars, sign up. When GADA is calling for assistance with grassroots, pick up the phone and call your local legislator. I promise you won’t regret getting involved.

It is a true honor to serve as your Chairman. Have an outstanding 2024!

Charles Prater
2023-2024 GADA Chairman
