Dealer Day at the Capitol Your VADA team remains your team on the ground day in and day out at the General Assembly, working to ensure that your voice is represented on critical issues. But, as business leaders, you also have an obligation to engage directly with legislators. Our annual Dealer Day at the Capitol makes it easy for all dealers to meet one-on-one with lawmakers. This year’s event occurred Wednesday, Jan. 22. For those of you that took the time to participate — thank you! Visiting legislators — and writing letters or emails, when asked — should be a priority for every dealer. You need to make the time and take the interest now because not partic- ipating in this process is a risk to your business. Members of the General Assembly need to understand what is important to you — and why these issues matter to you, your employees and your customers.
