The American International Automobile
Dealers (AIADA) and the Association
of International Automobile Manufacturers
(AIAM) together hosted the first-ever
International Auto Industry Summit
in Washington, D.C. last May. This
inaugural event provided a unique
venue for dealers and executives
from the manufacturers to learn
directly from one another about
the most pressing issues affecting
the international auto industry
in America. It also was an opportunity
for participants to reach out to
Members of Congress in a unified
front via specially arranged meetings
on Capitol Hill. The Summit was
the start of a renewed lobbying
effort at AIADA, and is something
we will continue to host on an
annual basis in our nation’s
Capital. The 2008 Summit will be
held April 30, 2008 to May 1, 2008
at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C.
For more information on this event,
contact Lori McMahon at 703-519-7800.
