Pub. 3 2022 Issue 4

The nomination of Chris Miller, president of Dutch Miller Kia in Barboursville, West Virginia, for the 2023 TIME Dealer of the Year award was announced in October by TIME. Miller is one of a select group of dealer nominees from across the country who will be honored at the 106th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Dallas, Texas, on Jan. 27, 2023.

Each year Ally, TIME and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) team up to celebrate the many ways auto dealers are doing it right in their industry and giving back with extraordinary contributions to their community.

WVADA is proud to announce our new chairman. James “JR” Toothman of Toothman Ford in Grafton will serve for the upcoming term. We recently sat down with him and are excited to work with him in this capacity and hope you enjoy getting to know him.

There are many attributes which combine to make a successful chair in any organization, such as integrity, personal strength, vision and quite simply being good at what they do. WVADA has been fortunate in its leadership over the years, and we want to say a heart-felt thank you to those dealers that have given so freely of their time and expertise over the years to create the outstanding organization that we are proud to have.

I hope each of you enjoyed the holidays and are ready for a new year. WVADA made a ton of progress in 2022 and we are hitting the ground running in 2023.
