Legislation session begins January 12, 2026

Active members of the Association will receive regular updates on potential changes to regulations that can affect the auto-industry, if at all, and rally the membership to speak with Legislators when necessary to protect the industry.

The first full year under new leadership will bring curious changes to the business landscape. 

Beginning in late October 2025

The Washington State Independent Auto Dealers Association will host the 2025 Fall Chapter Meetings beginning in late October for each of our dealership regions in the state. 

Each regional Chapter Meeting is a local event for dealership staff members to meet others in their area, learn from updates concerning the independent auto industry, and receive educational value from their attendance. Meetings are open to all dealer members and non-members alike.

Education Credits are available for attendance.

Thank you to all of the dealerships, exhibitors, and presenters for attending the 2025 Annual Convention at the DoubleTree Hilton in Seattle, Washington this year. 

The Association had seen a successful turnout in the attendance by dealers in our area, who enjoyed the presenters' information and met with the 13 exhibitors during the fair.

We are already looking forward to next year's convention to bring our state dealers even more value in attending the convention.

October is National Cybersecurity Month

The Washington State Independent Auto Dealers Association wishes to ensure it's members are protected with one-hour training webinars in partnership with ATTM Technologies during the month.

Each webinar will enhance the fundamentals of Cybersecurity requirements for the dealerships and their understanding of FTC Safeguards, Internet protections, and how to protect their customers' information for the future.

This is an Active Membership benefit to access. If you're not a member, you will need to sign up to join for these types of benefits.
