I would like to thank all of the dealer members and sponsors who made our 2016 IADA-CATA (tenth annual) State Conference so successful. We had a wonderful group of attendees participate in the March 20th-24th conference held at The Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, FL. The conference agenda included an Officer Recognition breakfast, several dealer board meetings, and an NADA Legisla- tive Update by IADA’s NADA Director, Jamie Auffenberg. We were thrilled to have two tremendous guest speakers with us this year at our morning breakfast: Rear Admiral, Scott Moore, Navy Seal Leader, and SunTrust Bank, Andy Richman, Investment Advisory Group. The conference granted plenty of opportunities for dealers to socialize, discuss industry news, and even rumba at the White Hot Havana Nights theme party. We have usedmany of the following pages to showcase photos of the conference. 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 even be possible. I would like to thank all of our dealer members for your support of IADA throughout the year. On behalf of the IADA Board of Directors and staff, we wish each of you a profitable and prosperous 2016.  Sincerely, Sam Roberts Roberts Motors, Inc. IADA Chairman
