As I step into the role of chairman for CNCDA’s monumental 100th year, the honor is profound. Representing and serving California’s franchised dealership community is a privilege that humbles me. The board chairs, a mere snapshot of the many remarkable individuals in our association, symbolize the hundreds of franchise new car dealers who, over a century, have generously given their time and talent to lead CNCDA’s Board of Directors. These individuals directly guided the association’s mission and secured many of the legislative protections we enjoy today.

CNCDA’s enduring strength and vibrant history are a testament to the dedication of these remarkable men and women. Their voluntary contributions have created a legacy of resilience, participation and engagement. Without their unwavering commitment, our association wouldn’t stand as strong as it is today.

As we embark on our next centennial, I am humbled by the legacy before us and excited about the future we are shaping today. We will ensure that CNCDA continues to protect and promote our members, evolves and leads the next 100 years of California’s automotive excellence. With gratitude for the past and enthusiasm for the future, I look forward to continuing this journey together.

Best,
