AADA recently finished up a very successful series of regional meetings with a focus on rebuilding our grassroots connection with dealers across the state. These meetings were long overdue and well received by all the dealers who attended. The goal for each grassroots stop was to give an update on the work AADA is doing on behalf of dealers and hear from each of you on what we can do better! This year’s meetings included stops in El Dorado, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, North Little Rock and Springdale.

Some of the key items included an update on the upcoming legislative session, AADA’s new initiative with the Hunger Relief Alliance, updates on the AADA Health Benefit Plan, an analysis of how the presidential election would impact the industry, challenges facing the industry and much more!

We would like to thank all the dealers who were able to attend, as well as Lee Martinez and Joe Latham from our endorsed F&I partner, The Versant Group, for their support. Keep a lookout for the next series of grassroots meetings coming up next spring.
