VIADA wrapped up a great visit at the NIADA Policy Conference—listening, learning, connecting with fellow dealers and bringing Virginia’s perspective to conversations about the future of our industry.

Your VIADA team had the opportunity to talk about what dealers need to keep serving their customers and communities. Working alongside colleagues from across the country reminded us how much we can accomplish together.

Enjoy these highlights from our time in the nation’s capital. Thank you to everyone who represented VIADA and helped move this work forward!

Repair access, reconditioning costs and sensible regulations matter to every Virginia dealership and to the customers who depend on affordable vehicles.

VIADA brought that perspective to NIADA’s 2026 National Policy Conference, where independent dealers held more than 100 meetings with lawmakers and staff. The priorities included right to repair, catalytic converter theft prevention, and CFPB and FCRA reform.

For us, the follow-through matters just as much as the trip. We’ll keep working alongside NIADA to make sure Virginia dealers’ concerns stay on the agenda.

Independent Dealers Take Their Message to Capitol Hill at 2026 National Policy Conference – Dashboard by NIADA Independent dealers from across the country gathered at the Willard InterContinental in Washington, D.C., Sept. 28–29 for NIADA’s 12th Annual National Policy

District 4 dealers: this dinner could put money back in your pocket.

Compliance changes. Missed profit opportunities. Cost-saving member benefits. The issues hitting your bottom line are on the table—and so is dinner.

Join VIADA on Monday, November 16 at 6 PM at Sedona Taphouse in Chantilly for straight talk with experienced dealers and practical information you can actually use.

No fluff. No generic presentation. Just the conversations that matter.

👉 RSVP to Stacey Wilkerson at [email protected].

A decision made in Washington can change how a Virginia independent dealer serves customers back home. That’s why dealers need a voice while those decisions are being shaped.

This week, VIADA is in D.C. for NIADA’s National Policy Conference. VIADA brings the perspective of Virginia dealers, and NIADA brings independent dealers together from across the country to meet with lawmakers and discuss the policies affecting their businesses.

Advocacy takes preparation, relationships, and dealers willing to explain what happens on the lot every day. We’re proud to be part of that work.
