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. |
