The National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD) continues to be a crucial organization in the automotive industry, fostering opportunities and creating a platform for underrepresented dealers and car buyers. In this endeavor, partnerships play a significant role, and Dealerslink is proud to sponsor NAMAD, supporting their mission and participating in the annual conference.
Empowering Minority Dealers
NAMAD’s mission is to achieve parity in the automotive industry by increasing the number of minority-owned dealerships and advocating for diversity within the sector. Despite various challenges, NAMAD continues to emphasize that aligning with growing diverse communities is crucial for maintaining market leadership and growth. As Perry Watson IV, NAMAD’s president, and Damon Lester, serving as vice chair, highlight, the organization’s work goes beyond rhetoric; it involves meaningful action and partnerships that foster a more inclusive industry.
Dealerslink NAMAD Participation and Support
As a proud sponsor of NAMAD’s annual conference, Dealerslink aims to build lasting relationships with minority dealers and support their growth and success. Scheduled for August 20-23 at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, this event offers a unique opportunity for Dealerslink to engage with minority dealers, share insights on their latest products and services, and strengthen its commitment to the community.
“Being a sponsor of and partner with NAMAD is a huge honor for myself and for DealersLink. NAMAD has actively helped thousands of highly qualified minorities achieve success in all facets of the automotive industry, and supporting that mission is something I have personally come to value greatly.” – Jake Silveira, Dealerslink Consulting Team Lead

Highlights of the NAMAD Conference
The NAMAD annual conference is a premier event that brings together industry leaders, dealers, and stakeholders to discuss the latest trends and strategies in the automotive sector. This year’s conference promises valuable networking opportunities, insightful discussions on increasing dealership ownership, and sessions focused on the latest industry innovations.
Celebrating Leadership and Success
One of the highlights of NAMAD’s recognition efforts includes honoring inspirational leaders within the industry. Last year, Gabrielle Abinion, a trailblazer who became a dealership general manager at the age of 25, received the “Ally Sees Her” award. Her achievements reflect the spirit of excellence and leadership that NAMAD and its partners, including Dealerslink, strive to promote.
Looking Ahead
Dealerslink looks forward to the NAMAD annual conference as an opportunity to continue its partnership with NAMAD and contribute to the success of minority dealers in the automotive industry. Through this sponsorship, Dealerslink reaffirms its commitment to supporting and empowering minority-owned dealerships, ensuring that they have the tools and resources needed to thrive.
