Continued focus on taxation issues, and issues that impact dealers ability to price loans , make for interesting and ongoing dialogue with members of congress. When you see training opportunities for dealership employees, we encourage your participation. We have carefully vetted the people who lead these seminars and webinars. Staying current and relevant, while upholding the standards of excellence in the automobile industry, is our commit- ment to our dealer members with the training we provide. I look forward to sitting and visiting with you in the dealership, and identifying ways to work together.  Bob Bob Smith Executive Director Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association 818-468-9021 President’s and Executive Director’s MESSAGE Fritz Hitchcock, President and Bob Smith, Executive Director GREATER LOS ANGELES NEW CAR DEALERS ASSOCIATION
