Executive President's Message

Greetings ADOMA and Friends of ADOMA,
Allynn M Pic.Title_2020
As we start the last month of the 3rd quarter of 2020, yes, the 3rd quarter is ending. As much as time seems to have stopped and we find ourselves trying to remember what day of the week it is, we are creeping to the end of 2020. Really, if you all think about how much time we are spending dealing with all the changes and new challenges COVID-19 has brought to our lives, time seems to be flying by at a great rate. From taking your temperature before you can leave the house, to taking your COVID-19 surveys before you can start your workday. Dealing with all the work you normally have on a daily bases, to the work level you now have due to lay-offs or employees out due to being exposed to COVID-19, and no childcare due to school closers. Our life at a dealership has changed so very much.

Next Meeting Date: Saturday, October 10th
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: CONFERENCE CALL


Please RSVP to Allynn Magnolia if you plan to participate.

FAQ on the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
COVID-19 TASK FORCE
(Published on Tue, 09/01/2020 - 10:15pm)

Title 1 of the CARES Act is referred to as the “Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act.” The “Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act” establishes an SBA Loan program called the “Paycheck Protection Program” (PPP) and process for forgiveness of the loan if certain compensation and employment metrics are met. It also expands access to Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and provides a subsidy to help businesses repay SBA loans (with the exception of the PPP loans). Below are many of the frequently asked questions about the Paycheck Protection Program portions of the CARES Act. We will continue our analysis of the CARES Act and continue to update this FAQ as to other of its sections.

This FAQ was originally posted on April 3, 2020 and will be continually updated as more information comes in from the federal government and agencies. This is a rapidly-evolving area and guidance is constantly updating and changing. Please be sure to check back here frequently, as guidance may change.
