Chairman's Message

As the ATAE Chairman for 2009, I welcome you to the official web site for the Automotive Trade Association Executives (ATAE).

Since 1915, ATAE has been providing information, programs, and tools to ATAE members to utilize in order for them to provide exemplary service to their members.

Through networking, professional development opportunities, conferences, surveys and focus group meetings, ATAE is an excellent resource of information for the 113 members who represent over 20,000 franchised new car and truck dealers throughout the United States and Canada.

Our goal is to provide valuable, reliable and professional information to the members of ATAE and their business associates.  During these very challenging times for our dealers/members, it is especially important for ATAE to really "step up." We welcome any suggestions you may have to make our web site the "go-to" source that you depend on for timely and critical information.

Tim Doran, ATAE Chairman
President, Ohio Automobile Dealers Association
