Huge Success O nMarch 13, 2013, a group of GLANCDA dealer members and key personnel descended on Sacramento for a day of appointments with elected officials at the State Capi - tol. The dealers included Peter Hoffman, Tim Smith, John Hawkins, Fritz Hitchcock, Peter Smith, and Darryl Holter. These meetings were designed to make the operating interests of Auto Dealers throughout Los Angeles County known and understood, in relation to proposed legislation that impacts the way business is con- ducted. One of the issues the dealers are in support of, Franchise Bill (SB 155) introduced by Senator Padilla is designed to clarify and standardize the method by which dealers are reimbursed by the manufacturer for war- ranty work utilizing a nationally recognized flat-rate time schedule. This legislation also addresses Export Policies and Factory Mandated Vendors for Facility Improvements. Other issues the Dealers took up with their representatives included a Tire Fee Reform Proposal and legislation that deals with the Display and Sales of Vehicles Subject to Manufacturer’s recall. The strong showing and collective voice of GLANCDA’s Dealer Members made for a successful day of meetings. At the CNCDA Luncheon that preceded the Dealer Meetings, Jeanette Shammas was presented with the Dealer Lifetime Achievement Award. Jeanette’s son in law, Darryl Holter (GLANCDA and CNCDA Board Member and Director) presented the award with no fewer than 10 of their current employees in attendance.  GLANCDA Board Member Darryl Holter pres - ents Jeanette Shammas with the Dealer Life - time Achievement Award GLANCDA Board Member Fritz Hitchcock Presents at Dealer Day 2013 8
