     Recently, NYSADA Board of Directors met at West Point for a two-day meeting to discuss the myriad of issues currently confronting our members. Chairman, Howard Kuperman, in his comments to the Board, said that, “our business has been through many challenges in the
past and with each - comes new ideas, management skills and technologies to make us better. I am certain that our industry will make it through these unprecedented times and that the next time, we converse at this meeting, we will be back to some sort of normalcy. Even the best writer in the world could not have written the story of this past year. If history is our guide, soon the economy will turn positive, as it always does, and because of this downturn we will be better and smarter dealers. We are an industry of survivors…hopefully the manufacturers will be as smart as us.”.  more news..
