On behalf of the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association, it is my pleasure to provide you with the 2026 edition of the Membership Directory. We hope you find it a convenient and useful aid.

This year, IADA celebrates 106 years of promoting the business interests of the automobile and truck dealers in Illinois. It is my distinct privilege to serve as chairman and representative for you and the Association this year.

I hope, during my term as chairman, I will help to promote the many strengths of our association. During these challenging economic times, IADA is, without question, our most valuable resource in protecting the interests of our dealerships before the Illinois Legislature and the various Illinois regulatory agencies. In addition, our association staff has developed member programs that are second to none and will help strengthen our dealerships’ bottom lines. With the help of our strong state association, I am confident that we will endure these difficult times and remain a vibrant and driving force in America.

My thanks go out to each of you who have served as the backbone of our association in terms of continued support over the years. Your efforts are noticed and appreciated, and could not be for a more important cause. I also applaud and welcome those new members who have only just begun to experience the benefits of our association and its role in preserving the franchise system.

As we move forward, I am sure that many of us will be called upon to serve our association. I invite and encourage you to participate in the activities of IADA. This is your association, and its continued success depends on the leadership and guidance of the membership.

Sincerely,

Rick Curia
Chairman, IADA
