Member Benefits

​KADA provides a number of essential services for its members.  First and foremost, we advocate on behalf of car dealers in the state of Kentucky. In addition to our legislative duties, we act as a go-to resource for training and educational opportunities, networking events, and vetted automotive vendor relationships. Communication is a major benefit as we provide industry updates, useful news and important information in the form of newsletters, emails, magazines and podcasts. At KADA we act as the help line that our dealer members can call when they have questions or concerns, or need more information.
