HANOVER, Md. –

It was announced late last week that Automotive Association Services will now provide management services to the Maryland/Delaware Independent Automobile Dealer Association. Also, AAS has named an associate director to assist with its new partnership. Tapped for the position is Brad Hudson.

Officials noted that the relationship between AAS and MIADA-DIADA began on the first of the new year.

Commenting on the news, Jack Tracey, Automotive Association Services president, noted, “I am pleased that Automotive Association Services was selected for this assignment. MIADA-DIADA is a good fit with the other auto-related associations that AAS manages. 

"Brad and I look forward to increasing services to the existing members and expanding the membership base,” he added.

And MIADA-DIADA is only one of the automotive organizations AAS has ties with.

AAS currently provides services to the National Automotive Finance Association, Payment Assurance Technology Association, National Vehicle Leasing Association; and the Community Auto Finance Association, which represents buy-here, pay-here dealers.

The MIADA-DIADA provides education and advocacy on legislative and regulatory matters to its regional, independent dealer members.
