Dear GADA Members,
The success of GADA can be attributed primarily to its members. Your willingness to get involved, step up when needed and help find solutions to the issues at hand makes all the difference. After all, when working together becomes a common thread, success takes care of itself.
To help with that, I am happy to present you with GADA’s 2025 Annual Membership Directory. 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 book has the contact information you need. It also includes the Franchise Practices Act, Auto Advertising Compliance information and so much more.
Also included here is a list of GADA’s Associate Members. These companies provide products and services to help our dealerships. Many of these companies support GADA in several ways, including sponsoring the 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. Please make use of our Associate Member listings; consider reaching out to them to help your dealership grow and find success.
If you are not active in GADA, I urge you to change that in 2025. By taking an active role in GADA, you will enjoy the advantages that the association has to offer, 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 are events, such as Dealer Day at the Capitol, Regional Meetings or webinars, show up and participate! When GADA is calling for assistance with grassroots efforts, pick up the phone and call your local legislator or, better yet, invite your local legislator to your dealership. I promise you won’t regret getting involved.
It is an honor to serve as your chairman. Here’s to another outstanding year!
Bo Scott
2024-2025 GADA Chairman
