Earlier this month, NIADA attended the Carolinas Independent Automobile Dealers Assn. Convention in Myrtle Beach, SC. From the expo booth to the education hall, John Dismukes proudly represented the national association and helped CIADA celebrate its 71st convention.

Huge congrats to Allen White (Automax) on being named CIADA's 2026 Quality Dealer of the Year 🏆, and cheers to the brand-new Women in Independent Automotive Leadership Caucus for kicking off strong — NIADA President Darla Booher was right there for it!

NIADA hit the road last week for an educational bootcamp in Salt Lake City! Retail and BHPH dealers spent the day with John Dismukes learning practical ways to close more deals, boost profitability, and sell smarter.

We couldn't have said it better.

As seen in the August Used Car Dealer magazine, Jeff Martin's "Letter from the CEO" breaks down why it is so important for dealers to join us in Washington, DC for the NIADA National Policy Conference.

Big win for independent dealers. 🎉 The CFPB just announced it will stop publishing unverified complaint narratives and visualizations. This reform mirrors exactly what NIADA argued for in comments to the Bureau back in April!

Big energy in Washington State! Last week, NIADA was thrilled to attend WIDCON26 in Auburn.

NIADA CEO Jeff Martin was there and said it best. "The room was packed with dealers, legislators, vendors, and industry partners. I am seeing so much energy and enthusiasm at our state conventions this year and Washington was no exception. Jessi and the board just hit it out of the park."
