The NADA Washington Conference was held in late September inWashington D.C. and proved to be another successful event. Dealers from across America convened on Capitol Hill to discuss important issues affecting our industry: potential tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, the necessity that rules on self-driving vehicles be subject to state franchise laws; the necessity that parts be available in vehicle recalls; and the necessity of local dealerships having the capacity and the expertise to implement recall repairs for consumers. IADA wa s wel l represented by chai rman, Dan Roesch, Elmhurst; Treasurer, Mike Ettleson, Hodgkins; NADA Director, Jamie Auffenburg, O’Fallon; IADA President, Pete Sander, IADALegislativeDirector, JoeMcMahon, and IADA Communications Director, Meghan Davlin. The IADA Board of Directors will be meeting this November in Chicago at the Ritz Carlton. Please contact your Board members with any issues or concerns you would like discussed. Join IADA & CATA for our annual Spring Dealer Conference as we return to paradise at the newly renovated JW Marriott Resort in Marco Island, Florida, March 24th-28th. The beautiful property welcomes us back with the stunning beaches, fabulous new restaurants, and even more activities for everyone in the family. Stay tuned for registration and pre-planned activity sign-up information! I would like to thank all our dealer members who contributed to CAR of Illinois and NADA PAC throughout the year. With the mid-term elections approaching, there is a lot at stake and this is a pivotal time to support pro-dealer congressional candidates. With your support, IADA will remain an influential voice at the state capitol.  Dan Roesch Roesch Auto Group Elmhurst IADA News IADA CHAIRMAN’SMessage | BY DAN ROESCH
