No, not a single one of our Board candidates is in it for the fame, and it's safe to say that their fortune is already within striking distance — or in their pocket. That's why we had a blast spreading the word about the Board of Directors election process in recent weeks to a host of interested candidates — they are in it to help not only themselves, but the industry as a whole. They are, of course, all Dealership owners, and they want the (NPDA Member!) Dealer down the street to be just as successful as they are, simply because that means more people are enjoying powersports.
I encourage you to hit that red button in the first post at the top of this edition to get to know our Board candidates for 2025. One after another, they are here to Promote, Unite, Represent and Educate on your behalf. It's our P.U.R.E. principle that was so eloquently stated by Board member Jayson Davis, owner of Powersports of Greenville, at Dealer Connect.
All Basic Dealer Members will be receiving their electronic ballot in the coming weeks. We will allow you to spend some time going over the bios (that also can be found on NPDA.org under the News tab) and then ask for your vote in December. As part of founding bylaws, only Basic Dealer Members are permitted to vote; no Affiliate locations are allowed to vote.
Speaking of which, many Dealerships should be on the lookout for their membership renewal invoice via email and/or USPS. We are eager to make a strong membership push in the waning weeks of the year, so if have not signed up your additional locations, we would appreciate the support. And if you have a 20-group peer or neighboring Dealer that could benefit from an NPDA investment, please drop me a note. Like you, we love referrals.
All the best for a Happy Thanksgiving!
Dave
