NADA’s success lies with its powerful grassroots lobbying efforts, which are most effective when local dealers meet with their members of Congress to advocate on behalf of all dealers and their customers.

This team effort involving NADA, state and metro dealer associations and NADA’s dealer members strengthens NADA’s ability to advocate on behalf of local dealerships everywhere and target engagement to dealer-specific issues. 

NADA PAC, one of the largest and most active political action committees of any trade association, represents the interests of all franchised new-car and -truck dealers by supporting pro-dealer candidates of both political parties. 

While NADA works hard in Washington on behalf of local dealerships, it coordinates efforts with state and metro dealer associations through the Automotive Trade Association Executives (ATAE).

NADA is the dealer’s best advocate in dealer-manufacturer relations, addressing concerns with manufacturers and distributors.

Twice each year, NADA delivers the results of its semiannual Dealer Attitude Survey to each manufacturer to discuss the positives and negatives of manufacturer performance and initiatives, including incentive programs.

NADA also hosts the annual Automotive Forum in New York that focuses on the latest issues affecting dealers, manufacturers, suppliers and others in the industry. NADA also partners with international dealership associations to stay up to date on international trends in auto retailing—from Europe to Asia to Brazil.

Key economic reports, including NADA Data and ATD Data (annual financial profiles of new-car and -truck dealerships), an annual NADA economic forecast, quarterly economic briefings and the Dealership Workforce Study, place NADA at the forefront of industry information.

As a NADA member, you’ll be able to browse regulatory topics, compliance-oriented guides, updates, and other reference materials to help your dealership departments thrive.

The NADA Foundation—begun in 1975—promotes initiatives sponsored by franchised dealers.

The Ambassador Program distributes hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in grants to local charities. The Emergency Relief Program has distributed millions of dollars to dealership employees and their families affected by disasters, including hurricanes, major storms and floods. The Workforce Initiative promotes the benefits of dealership jobs in local communities—with a particular focus on service technician jobs.
