New Mexico\u2019s independent dealers once again have a direct connection to the national association. More than 400 dealers and industry partners gathered this month at Isleta Resort & Casino in Albuquerque for the New Mexico Automotive Industry Alliance (NMAIA) Convention. The event also celebrated the association\u2019s recent reaffiliation with NIADA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New NMAIA Executive Director Adelina Torres Arreola welcomed attendees at Wednesday\u2019s Awards Dinner and Expo Sneak Peek. There, the association awarded scholarships to seven students and named Brian Luna of Integrity Automotive the New Mexico Independent Automobile Dealer of the Year. Thursday featured a full day of education, networking, and expo activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 1, NMAIA officially reaffiliated with NIADA, becoming its 32nd affiliated state association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was such an honor to be back in New Mexico celebrating with the dealers,\u201d said NIADA CEO Jeff Martin. \u201cThey are such an important part of our history, and I know they will play a vital role in the future of NIADA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reaffiliation pairs the support of New Mexico\u2019s state association with NIADA\u2019s national education, resources, and advocacy. It also adds New Mexico dealers\u2019 voices to the national network of independent dealers.<\/p>\n
