NIADA represents more than 15,000 independent auto dealers. NIADA protects and supports the independent dealer interests on a Federal level. Our state associations lead the fight in the states to support and protect our industry. They also contribute to support NIADA efforts to help educate dealers, lobby for the industry in Washington, DC and the states as well.
In addition to the NIADA Board of Directors, there are committees confirmed by the Board to help oversee the various NIADA initiatives.
