The state legislature has adjourned, and among other successes, IADA was able to DEFEAT the following legislation:
- Manufacturers’ attempt to REPEAL the Warranty Reimbursement Law for Labor and Parts
- Proposal to have vehicle sales tax distributed to the municipality where the vehicle is titled rather than the dealership location
- Proposal to adopt California Emissions Standards
IADA offers many services to assist our dealer members, including our always-improving IADA-CVR process, Ethos Group Income Development program and Federated Insurance partnership, but our advocacy efforts on behalf of dealers will always be our primary focus.
Your IADA staff and dealer officers will soon be in Washington, D.C., attending the NADA Washington Conference and meeting with our Illinois Congressional Members.
Our Association has recently completed renovating IllinoisDealers.com and the production of an informational video highlighting the benefits of our “Dealer Owned” association. We are proud that our site has been recognized with a Silver and Bronze Telly Award. The Telly Awards annually showcase the best work created within television and across video for all screens. Receiving over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents, Telly Award winners represent work from some of the most respected advertising agencies, television stations, production companies and publishers from around the world.
Finally, IADA is excited to be able to again offer the NADA Professional Series, New Manager Training, right here in our IADA office. This series allows us to provide the most efficient and affordable way to offer the best-in-class training to dealership managers without having to fly to other parts of the country and spend extra nights in hotels.
As your 2023 IADA Chairman, I thank you for your strong support of IADA. I urge you to continue to be involved in our grassroots legislative efforts, to take advantage of our partner programs and to stay informed by reading all the timely IADA information. It is an honor and privilege to work with you as the IADA Chairman!
