We are pleased to present the first AADA Annual Report for FY2023-24, highlighting our ongoing efforts to support, advocate for, and represent the new car and truck Dealer community amidst changing policy environment and shifting consumer preferences.
The report offers a snapshot of AADA’s activities over the past year, including Dealer Bulletins, Media Releases, Submissions, Cyber webinars, Newsletters, media reports and the 2024 AADA Annual Convention. Additionally, readers will find a tribute to our Lifetime Achievement Award winners and a summary of key achievements since AADA’s inception.
The past year also saw several new initiatives, including the launch of the Automotive Insights Report and the Dealer Satisfaction Survey. In response to growing interest in the used car market, AADA collaborated with Autograb for the first time to produce monthly and bi-annual reports analysing used car market trends. Another first was our inaugural Dealer Satisfaction Survey, aimed at assessing OEM-Dealer relationships and Dealer sentiments to help support our members and their needs better.
The report also outlines some of the key policy work AADA has undertaken over the past year, including our participation in the review of the Franchising Code of Conduct, engagement with diverse stakeholders on the industry’s pathway to Net Zero, and lobbying efforts to recommend key changes to the NVES.
“Collectively, the AADA submissions, Dealer Bulletins, political engagements and reports represent thousands of hours of work, all dedicated to creating a better business environment for franchised new car Dealers by the association whose sole purpose is to do so,” – AADA CEO James Voortman
