About The VIADA
The Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association was officially organized and incorporated in 1960 and traces its beginning back some 15 years prior to a group of Norfolk dealers who formed a local association for the purpose of fighting unfair laws and regulations.
VIADA is a 501(c)(6) tax exempt trade association affiliated with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association.
Our mission is to inform, educate, and represent motor vehicle dealers in all forums, and to work in cooperation with other organizations to make the Commonwealth of Virginia a safer community for all. This mission is fulfilled through meetings of our eight districts, bimonthly magazine, various other publications, workshops and most importantly our “800 Dealer Hot Line”.
Of primary importance is our presence in Richmond. Both regulators and legislators recognize VIADA as the voice of the independent dealers. As a result, we are advised and consulted before any measure affecting dealers is considered. The Association employs a lobbyist who works with our Legislative Committee which is made up of independent dealers throughout the state.
The Association employs an Executive Director to execute policies set by the Board of Directors as well as direct the day-to-day activities. VIADA has six employees, all of whom are pleased to serve your needs.
As a service to its members and an additional source of revenue, the Association maintains an inventory of specialized business forms and other supplies, and has a market for business and personal lines of insurance in addition to other member benefits. VIADA also produces regional workshops and an Annual Convention and Expo.
VIADA has maintained a relatively steady growth in membership and member programs over the years. Future plans call for this to continue, for the more complex the business becomes the more an actively involved trade association is needed.

Tracy Myers To Speak At Automotive Boot Camp In Las Vegas
First Class Educators has announced that car dealership owner, best-selling author and award-winning entrepreneur Tracy Myers will be speaking at the upcoming 3rd annual Automotive Boot Camp May 15-17, 2012 in Las Vegas.
The Boot Camp will be offering over 30 workshops and sessions specifically targeted to the needs of dealers.
The Automotive Boot Camp is a hands on conference that provides the needed training and skills development dealers need to run their business in an Internet centric world.
As margins are compressed, dealers need the best strategies to lower their operating costs through greater efficiency of operations.
Exhibit Hall Debut
This year the event will be expanded with a full exhibit hall with a unique twist. The exhibit hall will reduce costs for vendors to attend as well as allow more companies to participate at the event. This will give attendees ample opportunities to connect with new technology solutions and new companies.
Why A Boot Camp?
Car dealers seeking hands-on training, mentoring, coaching, and assistance with creating the structure, process, and innovative marketing plans should invest in sending key staff to the Boot Camp. The Boot Camp Experience includes keynote speakers, roundtable discussions, workshops, labs, and technology showcases. The programs will be lead by industry leaders, subject matter experts, and leading dealership employees.
Who should attend?
Anyone in a dealership that is making marketing decisions. Anyone who is responsible for customer interaction and retention. Executives and management professionals. The key point is that dealers should be sending both executives and front-line employees to learn together. The Automotive Marketing Boot Camp has attracted industry leaders than will help dealers at all levels implement the next steps in their growth strategy.
Changes In Automotive Advertising Strategies
The Boot Camp will have classes for dealers just embarking on their digital journey and enough meat for seasoned professional who want to increase their market share with new ideas. Best of all the program registration fee includes all classes, meals and materials. The networking and relationships that are formed over these three days will last a lifetime.
The real challenge for the automotive industry is this: Will dealers invest in educating their employees? We surveyed hundreds of dealers to find that over 40% of respondents said that they did not have a line item for education in their budgets. This is disheartening when you consider how much change the automotive industry has undergone in the last 10 years.

About “Car Men” – The Movie
He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat.

“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.
As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.

About The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™:
The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ was founded by two attorneys, JW Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nation, Esq. who are also best selling authors and represent authors and experts nationwide. Both of the attorneys are members of multiple organizations, associations and academies that recognize and honor the best in the business, and they thought a similar organization should be created for Best Selling authors who don’t always get recognition for their accomplishment. Authors themselves, they recognized that only a very limited number of books made the major New York Times Best Seller list and just like the awards shows put on by the entertainment-based organizations, they wanted to have more categories for authors to be accepted and recognized for their accomplishment. The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ now honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
