Dealers converge for SNEIADA Convention

March 20, 2024

Dealers from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut convened in March for the South New England IADA Convention.

The one-day event featured education and training for the dealers, including a session with state officials from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, addressing questions on licensing, titling and registration. Dealers also had a chance to visit during the expo and evening happy hour. The night was capped off with a dinner and presentation from NIADA CEO Jeff Martin, who highlighted the national association member benefits program and encouraged dealers to help grow the SNEIADA and get more dealers involved in their association.

NIADA President-elect Michael Darrow also attended the event.

“Lou and his team put a lot of work into this event and NIADA was proud to be a part of it,” Darrow said. “This is an area of the country that has a lot of potential for membership growth. We need to make sure the dealers and our members know this is their association, and we need them to be involved. We are much stronger together.”
