The Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association, Inc., (VIADA) was officially organized and incorporated in 1960 and traces its beginning back 15 years to a group of Norfolk dealers who formed a local association to fight unfair laws and regulations. VIADA is a 501(c)(6) tax exempt trade association affiliated with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA).
I am excited to serve as President of the VIADA for 2020-2021. While this past year has been filled with challenges and difficulties for many dealers in Virginia, our Association has been hard at work to find new ways for dealers to save money, make money, and better serve their communities. Belonging to the VIADA is the single best investment you can make in your business this year.
When the VIADA Ladies Auxiliary was first organized in 1980 by Ida Blair and Shirlie Slack, our first concern was to help VIADA in any way possible. At that time, if your husband was president of VIADA, the wife was president of the Ladies Auxiliary. That practice was changed in later years. We filed as a non-profit organization and wanted to contribute to charitable organizations throughout the state.
