In February, Sherry Merritt (Client Services) and I attended NADA 
(National Auto Dealers Association) Conference in Orlando, Florida. This conference is unique as it provides a platform for the entire automotive industry to come together. In addition to over 1,900 dealerships present, there were hundreds of allied industries there. We had a great time with some of our existing clients and met a few new ones too! Our Sherry Merritt is pictured here with Larry Stiver of VIP Marketing, Inc at NADA2013!
