I would like to thank all of the dealer members and sponsors who made our 2018 IADA-CATA (twelfth annual) State Conference so successful. We had a dynamic group of attendees and families participate in the April 11-15 event held at the Fairmont Princess Scottsdale. The conference agenda included an Officer & Sponsor Recognition Break- fast, dealer board meetings, and several networking events for our members. We were thrilled to have NADA Chairman, Wes Lutz, speak at the Breakfast along with SunTrust banker, Rick Schmer- sal. The conference granted plenty of opportunities for dealers to socialize, discuss industry issues and even learn about the Native American local cul- ture during the musical and hoop dance performances at the opening reception. We have used many of the follow- ing pages to showcase photos of the event. I would like to offer our most sin- cere thanks to our wonderful sponsors who helped make this event possible. Without their generous ongoing sup- port, this event would not 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 prosper- ous 2018.  Sincerely, Dan Roesch Roesch Auto Group IADA Chairman
