NHADA & NADA Town Hall 2023: Working Toward the Future

Written by Dan Bennett, President | Sep 28, 2023

This week, NHADA New Car and Truck members had the unique opportunity to meet and engage with Mike Stanton, President and CEO of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). Our members collaboratively engaged on emerging topics in a town hall format.

David Hammer, NADA Director & Dealer Principal, Contemporary Automotive, Dan Bennett, NHADA President, Mike Stanton, NADA President & CEO, and Marshall Jespersen, NHADA Chairman & Dealer Principal, ICL Autos.

Mike Stanton addressed NH businesses on topics at the federal level and heard first-hand their impact here in New Hampshire. This is an excellent example of the industry's collective voice working together to drive positive change.

The meeting focused on several topics, including:

  • Manufacturer EV plans and their impact
  • The FTC's proposed vehicle shopping rule
  • OEM relations
  • The current UAW strike
  • Workforce development

NHADA was honored to host Mike Stanton and thanked him for leading this cooperative session.  As the industry continues to evolve, events like these are essential for keeping members informed, engaged, and empowered to navigate the ever-changing landscape.
