6 AUTOMOBILE DEALER NEWS ILLINOIS www.illinoisdealers.com O n behalf of the IADA Board of Directors and staff I would like to dedicate this edition of our Il- linois Automobile Dealer News to all of the dealer members and sponsors who made our 2011 IADA- CATA State Convention so successful. We had a wonderful group of attendees participate in theMarch 26-30 convention held at the Marco Island Marriott Resort & Spa in Florida. The convention agenda included a wonderful talk by NADAChairman, Ste- phen Wade of St. George, Utah, several dealer board meetings, plenty of opportu- nities for dealers to socialize and discuss industry information, all topped off with a Sunset Cookout to view the stunning sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. We have used many of the following pages to showcase photos of the Conven- tion. I would like to offer our most sincere thanks to our sponsors who helped make this event possible. Without their gener- ous ongoing support, the event would not be possible.
