Can you believe Easter is already upon us? I hope everyone had a chance to take a breath and unwind over the long weekend.
I would like to start by thanking our members who flagged the changes to the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System data. On the back of the calls we received, we were able to collaborate with the other states to put forward an argument, and ultimately have these changes reverted to the benefit of our car dealers. This issue was driven by our members and is a reminder of the positive change we can make as a united industry group.
I am also happy to announce that nominations are now open for our annual Industry Awards. These awards are a fantastic opportunity for our industry to recognise the businesses who are achieving incredible things in the automotive industry.
This year, we are excited to open two new award categories – the Small and Large Business Awards for Excellence. I believe it is important to recognise the businesses that are leading the way in setting the standard for professionalism and excellence, which is what these new awards represent.
I have no doubt that the competition for the awards will be fierce, and I look forward to celebrating the winners at our Industry Awards Gala in November. You can nominate for the Industry Awards now by clicking HERE.
And finally, our Regional Industry Catchups are now well underway, and I would like to remind members to keep an eye on their emails to find out when our next event will be held in your community. We hope to see you there!
