VIRGINIA’S NIADA EAGLE AWARD RECIPIENTS

The NIADA Eagle Award continues to be a coveted award, given annually to qualifying membership producers in each
state. To qualify, you must sign at least 20 new members during a 12-month period. The program stands for the member
who excels above the rest and is key to his/her association growth. It is customary to present this honor during a State
Association event. For members that sign up between 5 and 19 members in a 12-month period, NIADA presents them with
an Eagle Certificate to recognize and support their ongoing efforts to connect more new dealers with their state association.
