Auto dealers wear many hats — leaders, entrepreneurs, salesmen, buyers, community leaders, mentors and more. Of equal importance is the influential role that dealers can play as an industry advocate.

In efforts to promote the industry and to lobby Congress on issues of importance, the MTADA delegation — consisting of Bruce Knudsen, Executive Vice President, Erick Anderson, Renee Anderson, Jackson Bell, Craig Charlton and Don Kaltschmidt, Montana NADA Director — joined NADA and many other state associations for NADA’s annual Washington Conference and Congressional Fly-in from Sept. 14-17.

Bruce Knudsen, along with the delegation, met with Rep. Matt Rosendale, Rep. Ryan Zinke, Sen. Steve Daines and Sen. John Tester and discussed current issues within the industry and the importance of business-friendly policy.
