We continue to witness persistent attacks on franchised dealers and the franchise system from multiple fronts. Your NCADA Board established the NCADA Victory Fund a few years ago to help fight against these continuing threats to our industry. From multiple new start-up manufacturers seeking to disrupt the franchise system to legislative proposals and lawsuits aimed at weakening dealer protections, the Victory Fund has been instrumental in ensuring that we have the resources to defend our industry and advocate for the franchised dealer model.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our NCADA members who have supported the Victory Fund over the past few years, recognizing its vital role in securing the future of our industry. And thank you to all of our members who have made a contribution to the Victory Fund along with your 2025 NCADA membership dues payment.

We know you will agree that there is no more important objective for our future than a strong franchise system that serves our customers well and fosters a strong economy for our state.
