New Chairman Named for NY Dealer Association
The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association has named Robert Vail as its new chairman.
Vail, the current president of the Vail Auto Group in Bedford Hill, N.Y., has been a member of the GNYADA board of directors since 1993 as well as holding several positions on both the executive and finance committees for the organization.
The third-generation auto retailer joined the business in the 1960s as a mechanic at the family Ossining Studebaker dealership; Vail’s grandfather opened a Chevrolet dealership in the same town in 1918.
Mark Schienberg, GNYADA’s president, expects Vail to perpetuate his contributions to the association in the new position.
“Bob has been a dedicated advocate for dealers over many years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the job,” Schienberg said, “and I look forward to working with him on the Association’s many important lobbying efforts and grassroots dealer and consumer initiatives.”
