The American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA) is seeking nominations for one of the highest honors the organization gives.

AIADA asked for nominees to be considered for the David F. Mungenast Sr. Lifetime Achievement Award, which is presented each year during AIADA’s annual meeting and luncheon to a member of the international nameplate auto retail industry who embodies an “unrivaled commitment” to his/her dealership and employees, community and family.

The association is asking for nominations to be submitted by Oct. 29. Go to this website to obtain the form that can be sent via mail, fax or email.

AIADA recapped that its board of directors created the award to honor the memory of David F. Mungenast Sr., a former AIADA member who also served as chairman of the organization in 1998.

“More importantly, Dave Mungenast was known by family members, employees and those in the industry and community as their founder, mentor, employer and friend. Dave Sr. and his wife, Barbara, were both dedicated to giving back to the communities that helped make them successful,” AIADA said.

The award winner will be announced at AIADA’s 52nd annual meeting and luncheon on March 13 in Las Vegas.
