NADA Board and Committee Meetings Schedule
ATAE Automotive Law Conference Schedule

Plan to attend the 2009 Washington Conference. 

Over the past year, Washington has become much more important to the auto industry, and as we have seen in recent months, to the survival of a robust retail auto network. We must continue to work to impress upon our lawmakers the value of franchised dealerships. This year’s NADA Washington Conference will provide you with the latest updates and information to continue NADA’s success in advocating dealers’ concerns to the nation’s lawmakers.
