SLATE OF OFFICERS

Thank You

Wow! I can’t believe the holiday season is here. This year
has flown by and I know we all want it to continue to fly
right on out of here! I am really looking forward to 2021.

Your association is as busy as ever. Membership has
remained strong throughout the pandemic. I really
appreciate all the dealers that believe so strongly and
support GIADA. Although we stay extremely busy, we are
always here for you. Lisa Johnson – President
Laurie Higgins – Vice President
We are having quarterly conference calls with the DOR Kate Christanson – Secretary
to work on and talk about ongoing issues. The calls seem Wendy Brunn - Treasurer

old that everyone is used to. Try to avoid errors by double checking your titles and spread
the word to your fellow dealers.

Don’t let simple mistakes hold up your title work and cost you late fees.

We have hired a title expert from the DOR. She will be working in the front office and
will QA the deals being dropped off, on the spot. She will be assisting our members with
corrections and questions. We are very happy to have her as part of the GIADA family. Be
sure to say “Hi” to Pam when you come by the office!

Please encourage your local dealers and vendors to join. I’ve never understood why
businesses and dealers would not want to be a part of an association as great as GIADA.
Being a member has such great value and creates a healthy business environment. We
really appreciate your support. Watch for your renewal notice!

Even though your holiday gatherings may be a little different this season, I sincerely hope
you all enjoy your time with friends and family.

Happy holidays and thank you,
