NJ CAR President Laura Perrotta recently spoke with Paul Daly, Founder & CEO of The Automotive State of the Union (ASOTU).
Laura explained how dealer associations help dealers navigate evolving regulations, access trusted resources, and stay informed when new compliance issues arise.
She also shared examples about how dealer associations, like NJ CAR, serve as trusted resources and play a critical role in helping retailers understand changing regulations, interpret new guidance, and implement best practices across their organizations. From compliance guidance and educational webinars to industry partnerships and expert-led training, associations help dealers quickly access the information they need to make informed decisions.
Beyond compliance, Laura discussed how stronger dealer engagement often leads to broader industry collaboration. Whether advocating for legislation, supporting workforce initiatives, or helping dealers respond to emerging challenges, associations serve as a critical connection point between auto retailers, policymakers, and industry partners.
