The Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association (LADA) has aggressively fought to protect and promote the rights of Louisiana franchised new car and heavy truck dealers since its inception in 1937. With franchised dealers facing unprecedented uncertainty and challenges from manufacturers, industry disrupters, and government, the LADA Board of Directors has taken the proactive step of creating the LADA Dealer Advocacy Fund to continue the aggressive fight our members have come to expect.
LADA leadership recognizes that our battles are fought in the Capitol, in front of regulatory agencies, via the legal system and through public opinion. The LADA Dealer Advocacy Fund will allow for more financial flexibility as we fight to safeguard our business model, a model that creates thousands of jobs, millions in local and state tax revenue and countless consumer benefits. The Fund’s purpose is clear:

The Fund’s purpose is clear:
“to support the preservation, protection and promotion of the Louisiana franchised dealers and the laws, regulations and statutes defending Louisiana dealers.”
LADA members, through requests and successful approval of the LADA board or LADA executive committee, may request access to monies from the fund for approved purposes. However, pursuant to the approved purpose statement, the issue must be one that substantially affects the dealer body as a whole.
“I would hope that everyone will contribute to our new fund,” said LADA Chairman Marshall Harper. “This fund provides the tools that we need to continue to promote our industry which benefits the communities, employees and customers that count on us.”
Those dealers who contribute at various levels will be highlighted in our LADA communications throughout the year and given special recognition at our annual convention in June. Additionally, those dealers that contribute at the Platinum and Gold levels will enjoy a VIP Reception in their honor at the LADA Annual Convention along with special badge recognition.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to this critical endeavor today!
