I am pleased to announce Scott Webb has joined the New Car Dealers Association as our Director of Marketing & Operations. Scott brings more than 25 years of automotive industry expe- rience, including 17 years at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and will be responsible for a variety of dealer-related initiatives as well as being part of the management team for the San Diego International Auto Show. We are excited to have him on board and know that he will be an excellent addition to our team at the New Car Dealers Association. Earlier this month, the NCDA launched our new First Aid/CPR/AED Training class. This new program was developed in partnership with the American Red Cross and is exclusive for NCDA members and their employees. This issue of San Diego Dealer Magazine highlights the details of the course and we are hopeful we have started the process to getting every dealer employee trained and certified in these life-saving techniques. With the end of summer brings the beginning of auto show season. Our recent manufacturer trip to Detroit was highly successful as key repre- sentatives confirmed increased space, upgraded exhibits and new activation assets. These are all key components to growing our show, increasing ticket sales and maintaining the high standard of excellence the San Diego International Auto Showhas earned over the years. The show returns to a 4-day format January 1-4, 2015 at the San Diego Convention Center. Speaking of January, the 2015 NADA/ATD Convention & Expo will take place in San Francisco, January 22-25th. I encourage all dealers to register as soon as possible as it is sure to fill up quickly. I hope summer has proven to be successful and prosperous and I know we are all looking forward to the same for the rest of 2014. Sincerely, Dean Mansfield President, New Car Dealers Association
