As fall settles in, I’m reminded of what an energizing season this is for our association and our members. The cooler air and changing leaves mean one thing for us: a busy calendar full of opportunities to connect, learn and strengthen the future of our industry together.

One of the highlights of my role is the chance to travel the state during this season and visit with our dealers where they live and work. Every stop on our tour is unique, but what they all have in common is the fellowship, insights and energy that come from being in a room full of committed dealers and allied members. These meetings are not just about updates — they’re about relationships and they remind our team why our association’s voice is so strong.

At each district meeting, you’ll find:

• The opportunity to network with peers and allied members, exchanging ideas and best practices that help us all grow stronger.
• Updates on industry issues and trends that affect your dealerships today and tomorrow.
• A look ahead at our 2026 legislative priorities, with a chance to help shape our advocacy.

We’re also fortunate that many of our state legislators make time to attend their local district meetings. It is a valuable chance to have face-to-face conversations with decision-makers, share your perspective and build the relationships that keep our industry’s voice front and center in Frankfort.

This season is one of my favorite times of the year because it blends the best of what our association offers: community, knowledge and influence. I encourage you to bring members of your leadership team and join us at the meeting in your district. Your participation strengthens not only your own business but also the collective power of our dealer family across Kentucky.

Register today to secure your place, and take advantage of this opportunity to engage, learn and lead.

I look forward to seeing you on the road this fall.
