We had a wonderful group of attendees participate in the March 24-28 convention held at the Harbor beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Ft. Lauderdale FL. The convention agenda included a wonderful talk by NADA Chairman, Bill Underriner of Billings, Montana, sev- eral dealer board meetings, plenty of opportunities for dealers to socialize and discuss industry information, all topped off with an Oceanview Lauderdale Latino Style Party. We have used many of the following pages to showcase photos of the Convention. I would like to offer our most sincere thanks to our sponsors who helped make this event possible. Without their generous ongoing support, the event would not be possible. I would like to thank all of our dealer members for your support of IADA throughout the year and I encourage you to consider joining us at next year’s convention for informative business sessions, fun-filled activities and outstanding social functions. On behalf of the IADA Board of Directors and staff, we wish each of you a profitable and prosperous 2012.  Sincerely, Jim Lombardi Lombardi Chevrolet Buick IADA Chairman IADA CHAIRMAN’S Letter | BY JIM LOMBARDI
