Did You Know?
- FEBRUARY FACTS -
The 2nd month  of the year brings us George Washington's Birthday, Valentine's Day, and the shortest month  of the year. In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar that most of the world uses, February  is the second month  of the year. Most of the months  have 30 or 31 days in a month  but February  is shorter with 28 days in common years and 29 days in leap years every four years, with the quadrennial 29th day being called the leap day.

Hello,

We are in the second month of 2019! Year-end is done, forecasts completed and posted! We are now full steam ahead into 2019. The executive board has been working hard on the upcoming coming months speakers and planning our summer educational conference.

January's speaker gave us some updates on DMV and some very helpful tips to help F&I comply with laws. Does your F&I department understand the time requirements of the DMV to submit new and used items? What about understanding how to read a DMV print out (KSR)? Questions I went back to our F&I department and asked. We are working on getting speakers that will give us information we can take back to our dealership, build on our own knowledge and share with each other. Kind of like an ADOMA 20 group but with your friends.

Mark Your Calendar! The 2019 conference will be on July 25 to July 28, 2019. We are working on getting speakers from Fisher and Phillips, CNCDA, BOE and more. Please watch for more information in the Newstrax or on the web site at www.adoma.org

As always email the ADOMA office at [email protected] at any time with your topic ideas and/or contact information on the speaker(s) you would like to hear. Our next Executive Board meeting is February 16th, we would appreciate if you could send us your ideas before the meeting.

Aloha,
