The most recent NADA Board Meeting was held at the end of January in conjunction with the 2023 NADA Show in Dallas. In addition to a thorough discussion of the top issues NADA is working on behalf of franchised dealers, the January Board Meeting marked the official transition to the Board’s new executive leadership team, with 2023 Chairman Geoff Pohanka, Vice Chairman Gary Gilchrist, and all other officers and committee chairs officially beginning their terms.

For over 50 years, there has been a franchise law in Mississippi. One of the chief purposes of the law has been to build a network of independent car dealerships in our state that would provide sales and service of automobiles to Mississippians.

Six years ago, MADA started publishing a quarterly newsletter as a way of communicating our mission — to promote and advance the franchised automobile dealers in Mississippi. Late last year, an opportunity to take the quarterly newsletter to a quarterly magazine was presented to our leadership, and we took it.

I hope your year is going well so far. 2023 is certain to bring new challenges to our stores as interest rates increase and factories continue to impose new demands.
