Mike Ettleson started working at his Dad’s dealership, Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet, in 1971 when he was 13 years old. He worked part time as a porter throughout high school, full time in the summers at age 15, and on Saturdays during the school year.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, we are pleased to present this commemorative issue of the 2020 IADA Quarterly Magazine.

What is leadership? In today’s world, we are often asked many questions and read lots of endless articles about the buzz topics and buzz words like todays digital retailing or the virtual customer, etc. … but what we don’t read enough about or get direction on is how to lead, how to make those around you better, or how to tackle tough things as a group.
