couldn’t make it, but our members’ safety is the most important
thing. The association will continue to be a positive resource for
those affected by the storms.”
Following the workshops, hundreds of dealers took part in
five different dealer education courses that covered everything
from marketing trends to insurance costs. It was the NATDA
Dealership Performance Training seminars that received the most
attention, leaving only standing room for interested dealers.
Friday morning, dealers were treated to a
complimentary President’s Breakfast hosted
by Waymire Distribution, Dexter Axle and
Taskmaster Components, where NATDA
President Andy Ackerman gave a presentation
to honor 10-year exhibitors and attendees
themselves.

“It was important to me that we acknowledged the people that
made this possible,” said Ackerman. “We’re thankful for the
support we’ve been given over the years and we wanted to show
that.”
The day was capped off
with the Dealer Reception
hosted by Redneck Trailer
Supplies, where dealers
enjoyed food and live
entertainment.
The association will return to the Indiana
Convention Center for the 2018 NATDA
Trade Show & Convention on September 6-8,
2018.
