                               Dear GIADA members,                                      Analytics

                               I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is     4  Automobile Acceptance
                               David Johnson. After seven years of working my way up the        Corporation
                               ranks through the GIADA Board of Directors, I am honored
                               to be the 2020-2021 President of GIADA. I currently serve    43  Backlot Cars
                               on the Georgia State Used Car Board. I began my used car     8  Frazer Computing Inc.
                               career in high school as a detailer for LC Smith Chevrolet.    45  GIADA Legal
                               After graduating from technical school in 1987, I went to
                               work selling cars at Nalley Chevrolet, but my dream was to    BC  NextGear Capital
                               have my own franchise. After getting married in 1989, I went    29  Oakwood's Arrow Auto
                               into the family restaurant business. My wife and I also ran
                               several AT&T stores together. In 2011, we decided to sell the        Auction
        GIADA PRESIDENT        restaurants and the stores so that I could put all my focus on    13  People's Financial Corp
        David Johnson          my passion of the used car business. I partnered with David
        Cherokee Auto Group    Mosley in 2007 with the opening of our first location, and we     7  Rawls Auto Auction

                               As the COVID-19 pandemic runs its course, I cannot begin
        to tell you the importance of remaining compliant with your dealer license. Remember to    39  RunBuggy
        have your dealer license, your sales tax and use certificate, and your business license on     9  Southeastern Auto Auction
        display at your business location. You are also required to have your surety bond, insurance
        and education certificate available at all times. The state inspectors are back out in the field     3  UPS
        and you could face several fines without these documents available. I want all dealers to    IFC  Wayne Reaves Computer
        stay in compliance.
